If it hasn't been listed for that long then I would continue to accept applications until February or March.

As I said above, I'm hopefully completing building my house here in March or April, and I'm looking for potential options for my GC/handyman skillset but can still maintain a flexible schedule.

I joined BP in March 2018. 

I am going to skip past the “B” and the first two “R’s” for simplicity and to get to the point of my inquiry, which is Refinancing and Repeating.

I'd rather buy one that has gotten band-aids on band-aids over the years, like carpet on hardwood and paneling on plaster, and peel it off to restore it.

@Josh Dane - we won't have an issue next month either...the fun comes in March should the government still be shut down.

I’m hopeful that some version of this will go through as it could be a great value-add for owners as well as contribute to more housing for the massive population influx Portland is expected to receive in the next 20 years.The next scheduled portion is a Feb. 12th meeting on the proposals (I don’t think open to the public) with it being sent back to the council for review and public comment sometime in March.

HUD is not funded for March 1st payments unless the government shutdown ends.3. 

There's a little more to it but he was planning on moving before all this so I would like him to move when it's convenient for me at the end of March rather than when it is for him which is who knows when.
