I've now decided that I should have gotten started years ago, but better late than never, I suppose.  

If your DIY tenant doesn't quite do enough sanding in the corners and the new finish doesn't look quite as good there as it does in more accessible areas, but the tenant thinks it looks fine, who decides it's incomplete?

However, my girlfriend and I decided to upgrade few aspects (namely kitchen since she loves cooking) of the front house since we were going to live in it for the next few years.

I have been reading a lot and have decided that I would find a multi-family property in which I could attempt to house hack.

Currently, 60 days before a tenant's lease term expires we decide if we would like to extend an offer to the tenant to sign a lease amendment to extend her lease for an additional year.

It might seem like a lot of work but just this year I've lost over $8000 and got left with a half finished bathroom that needed to be rebuilt from scratch again, while my contractor decided to take a month vacation in the Dominican Republic.

We have been looking at investmests such as duplexes that we could live in temporarily until we find a longer term home, or until we decide to make Bend a permanent home.  

If they aren’t able to pay in that amount of time then it will be up to the judge to decide.

Like, just not buy a house or the land...in case you decide you don't like the area.

The hurricane caused damage to the roof and instead of fixing it, the HOA decided to replace it.
