My thought on a situation like that is checking the fresh-air intake, and the exhaust, to see if your getting a cross breeze too strong that's blowing out pilot.

The general meeting is held somewhere close to the Convention Center in Portland, and a number of other meetings are held at the Baja Fresh in Tigard, near the Washington Square mall.

@Tracey Marzich i would like to state that no matter what the current agreement is your soon to be tenets are be default on a month to month lease. in ohio a verbal agreement still counts in court ( good luck proving what was said but it is still legal in ohio. ) so your realtor should have had a clause in your contract that one of two things happens before you close, 1. the current tenets be in a new lease with you starting on the day of closing or 2. the current owner have removed both current tenets and the houses be completely empty for you to start fresh. both clauses would give you cause to stop the closing as once you close if the new lease isn't already signed or the houses are already empty it will be your responsibility to get new leases signed or evict the current tenets. these are the clauses i use when working with investors as they are what protect you. if you close and there are no leases signed they by law are still in a month to month with what the "current" rate is that they have been paying and you will have to serve them with a 30 day notice to move out if you wished that at that time. i hope this is of some help.

I wanted a fresh take on it.For people in CA I was curious if you had a certain rule of thumb for $/unit for insurance?

This is fresh on my mind only because I'm in the process of getting my real estate license in Louisiana.  

My first property was a mobile house, because that was all I could afford fresh out of college.  

Count your lucky stars,  you just got a gift,(an expensive nice gift too)  that you can start fresh with your own tenant. 

That is one of the extreme cases, the houses that required 30k down were over a 100k... it's not fresh in my memory anymore though.

Sometimes banks would refinance an already existing loan if you have no income because it would lower your rates and likelihood of repayment, but here, you are jumping into a fresh loan.

If you're looking for the quickest fixes that will make it most marketable, I'd say a fresh coat of paint and some new floors!
