From what I've seen it looks about 40k in Portland. 10-15k in rural Washington county, but Im not sure I found all the fees and I haven't found info for rural Multnomah county or any other city yet. rural means no city water or sewer so well and septic and if you don't have those U can spend at least 10 to 15k on a well and water system and septic 15k to 50k.. depending on soil.plus your 5 to 10 k in building permits.. then your ready for vertical.. so city fee's are usually cheaper.now place like Yamhill or Carlton you can find little funky infill and fee's there will be less than 20k.. maybe Banks Gaston etc.its tough for land here. 

There are 4 broken or missing window blinds, a broken kitchen drawer, molding damaged by the cat, etc.....  

That would be muddying the waters between the HOAs books and your books.

He charged me $2k to purchase and install a 75 gal gas water heater, and dispose of the old.

The tenant must have the full damage deposit and full rent at the beginning of the lease signing.

We tend to attract recent university or college grads to out unit, young people that are still looking for a less expensive place but are sick of living in houses with 4 other people.For the last 7 years we have had a nice chocolate brown laminate flooring down there but there's been some water damage in one room.

Tenants pay all utilities except for the water bill.

(On that subject I'd like to commend podcast for having kid friendly content as my son is usually riding with me, and I never fear him hearing something inappropriate or psychologically damaging.)In summary, you guys have fantastic content YouTube, Website, Forum, Podcast and I'm appreciative for the many contributors as well as an opportunity to come and share.    

@Jonathan Pendleton Each unit needs it's own source/meter for electric/water/gas.

Super-priority liens are created by statute... so things like X months of HOA dues, taxes, water, etc. can be given priority pursuant to local law.
