If management is a concern, you could sell it owner finance and limit the impact of your gains.

If we're making up the difference with immigration, then we won't see much impact of this.

Concern here is obviously DTI being negatively impacted, and then being stuck with a huge credit card bill. 

- What are the regulations in that market and are they likely to change in a way that will impact my investment?

Do you know any body interested in this project?

She is stating that seeing any roaches or flies is impacting her safety and health as an ordinary tenant.

Maybe even the security deposit is not enough.Worst is when you have a tenant who doesn't pay, AND have dog damage.For me, there just isn't a reliable way to determine if you're dealing with a responsible dog owner who has a well trained obedient clean dog with no dog body odor.

If you've got a great property that is rehabbed and in an amazing, impacted, high-demand area then there are some intangibles (yes, that's code for future appreciation) that may make you want to hang on as Portland continues to grow and develop.

If the company can recover the money they pay you from the contractors policy it may have no impact on you at all price wise.Good luck.

But as we all are/become landlords, it's something we should keep in mind, and it's a small way that we can have a positive impact.
