Hello,Just thought I'd introduce myself with the hope of making connections in this new city. 

good group of folks there and good networking for one in the mortgage industry.. socialist republic of city of Portland is doing some pretty weird stuff to landlords.. 

I spoke with a the city assessor in Tosa a while ago they said they are looking to have the properties on a street be correctly positioned to each other, meaning that they want to identical houses being assessed the same.

Very true @Dennis Mears, the market could support probably 250$ more based on my research (only 2, 2 bed houses for rent in the whole city, and they are going for 200$ more than my proposed $150 more price.) but vacancies are expensive and having them been there 3 years they must be decent, just some bad habits from previous landlords 

@Edwin RamirezAs a host myself, I would strongly advise against getting an Airbnb if the city does not allow them.

Each city/state is different. 

I’m using my second tier to buy a fourplex in Kansas City.

I know this is a difficult part of the city and I wanted to get some insight from other peoples' experiences.

I played around with some of the ways of looking at value in the Introduction to Real Estate Analysis article by J Scott, but whenever I think of an offer I get worried I am either insulting him or giving away all my hard work (3 years of time assembling lots and getting it through city approvals, and serving as an uncompensated GC for net zero energy certification and most of the site work).

.), one large reason was for the “underratedness” we see in the city and the opportunity for entering into REI.
