Can you share on some insights about how does this work ?

So, I would find a handyman or something who could do that or maybe first just have the cleaning person try a product by hand meant to remove scratches which I think does the same thing but with manual scrubbing.

Congratulations, and thanks for sharing with us!

Make sure the zoning change proposal makes sense beyond your personal interest.

This was sold to a local person who had no intention of building there, but just want to use the golf course and other amenities.There are many property owners who are trying to sell lots in Eagle Rock, and many who are letting their property go for tax sales.  

As a hard money lender who works with many investors in the Portland area, I can share some insights on maintenance costs for multifamily properties in this market, though individual experiences may vary:Lots of investors report a slight decrease in maintenance costs during winter months, bc of:- Fewer landscaping needs - Less wear and tear on HVAC systems (as heating is generally less intensive than summer cooling)- Reduced tenant turnover in winterWinter-specific issues can arise:- Potential roof repairs due to heavy rain or occasional snow- Gutter cleaning and maintenance to prevent water damage- Heating system repairs or maintenancePortland-specific factors:- The mild climate helps reduce extreme weather-related maintenance issues. - Older housing stock in some areas may require more upkeep. - Strict local regulations can also sometimes increase compliance-related maintenance costsCost-saving strategies I've seen help:- Preventative maintenance programs can help reduce overall costs obviously - Some investors report success with in-house maintenance teams for larger portfolios- Energy-efficient upgrades can help reduce utility costs in the long runYour specific costs will depend on factors like the age and condition of your properties, your management style, and the specific neighborhoods you're invested in, but hope this helps!

The tenant has left as of 6/13/24 and I've turned over the room for the next person.

If at least one person is going to be working from home, an office setup may be desirable, although a lot of people prefer not to be glued to a desk and like to move around the home as they work.

Thanks for sharing your experience!
