So I did my research, and the scam was immediately evident.

With all the speculation on where we are currently in the real estate cycle and some more or less anecdotal evidence supporting a market crash or still more golden years to come I wanted to know the numbers and facts and recently pulled some data out of our local MLS to get the facts and data. 

If it is evident that the service animal is causing additional wear or damage then you could take photos and request an additional deposit.

That is evidence of something being wrong.

😊Thank you for sharing your insights and resources for out-of-state investors, it's evident that you're passionate about helping others make informed decisions.

My point was, it appears, based on anecdotal evidence (which is the same evidence you provided), that the PM industry, has at a minimum, a perception problem. 

Point Breeze has numbers to back up the hype, big reason is that it has exploded by  Ori Feinbush from OCF who can be credited with blowing that neighborhood up, as he is doing with Grays Ferry, specifically evident of the properties closer to 25th street and even more so as you get to close to Washington where you see similar values and new builds as you do in Whitman and Pennsport (just the southern part really a few blocks north of Whitman, you're on point that the rest of Pennsport is better).  

Personally, unless the real estate market nationwide tumbles (which is possible), I don't think Portland will go down much because demand is increasing as people continue to move up to Oregon from California (a trend I see no evidence of slowing down) and there isn't really a way to add infastructure like roads and highways in the city center.

If the number is too high, we evidence to the bank why we disagree, and push for another BPO.

For example, if you state that evidence of dogs on the couch (such as hair or prints) will result in a $100 surcharge, is it easy to collect that on the backend?
