Hello everyone,

I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself and share a little about our business. My name is Ben Stanisel, and along with my wife (Allison Stanisel), we proudly own Skyline Real Estate, a Property Management company serving the Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA areas. With over a decade of experience as real estate investors, we’ve built a successful portfolio worth over 10 figures and have helped countless clients buy and sell hundreds of investment properties.

Over the years, we've had the opportunity to work with various property managers, but our experiences weren't always what we hoped for. That's why we decided to take matters into our own hands. After successfully self-managing our portfolio for nearly a decade and achieving outstanding results, we knew it was time to extend our expertise to help other investors like you.

At Skyline Real Estate, we specialize in managing smaller property portfolios, typically ranging from 1-10 units. Our approach is tailored to deliver exceptional results through transparent, efficient communication, a commitment to professionalism, and most importantly, peace of mind for our clients. We pride ourselves on being responsive and providing the kind of service we would expect for our own properties.

What sets us apart is our unique blend of hands-on experience as investors and our deep understanding of the challenges property owners face. Whether you're just starting out or looking to expand your portfolio, we offer competitive pricing and unmatched service designed to help you succeed.

We’d love to connect and discuss how we can support your real estate investment journey. Feel free to visit our website at www.pnwbestrealtor.com and reach out to us directly. We're here to help!

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Ben Stanisel

Hey Mad,

I run a property management company in the Portland/Vancouver metro area. 

Relocation in the Portland area is paid out for a few reasons: 

1. No cause eviction

2. non-renewal of lease

3. Qualified Landlord reason for termination.

3. Rent increase over the rental cap per 12 months (10%)

4. Significant changes to lease terms that impact tenant

Also, the tenant would not qualify for relocation assistance if they live outside of Portland City limits, live with their landlord, or have a week-to-week tenancy.

The tenant has a "Right to quiet enjoyment" No entry is allowed for maintenance or repairs without proper 24-hour notice. If the tenant requests a repair, the landlord may without further notice enter the property at reasonable times within 7 days. Check out 90.322 of Oregon Legislature Bills & Laws.

If you are following laws for notices, and are not doing the improvement for any of those reasons above, the tenant is not entitled to have you provide relocation assistance for one day. However, I would try to work with the tenant and if I deemed the repair would be a significant inconvenience, I would pay the $100 for them to stay at a local hotel for the day. It's better to preserve a healthy relationship with the tenant than save a few bucks. The job would be easier for the installer, the tenant would be happy with your assistance, and you'd be able to improve the property thus increasing the value of the home. A triple win.

Just purchased a tri-plex in Holiday, FL. I am looking for a handyman to help with some minor repairs to get it up to speed for insurance compliance. Items included that need to be done are filling an empty socket in an electrical panel, fixing a branch wiring incident, adding overflow value to a water heater, and some very light cleaning on a couple of locations. Please send me over any recommendations, or anyone you know that can help. Thank you!

Hey Craig, did you find anyone? I'm looking for the same thing.
