Everyone fails sometimes, and the failures you discuss are pretty small. I think you have a great attitude about it and have learned some good lessons. Good luck!

That's the Belvedere area of Grandview, which is fairly rough. I would say probably around $65,000 if it's in decent shape. Tough to know without seeing pictures and spending more time to comp it out. But that's probably a decent ballpark.

Personally, unless the real estate market nationwide tumbles (which is possible), I don't think Portland will go down much because demand is increasing as people continue to move up to Oregon from California (a trend I see no evidence of slowing down) and there isn't really a way to add infastructure like roads and highways in the city center. The suburbs will grow, but Oregonian cities generally have a densification policy. So I think in all liklihood, if the national economy remains stable, Portland housing will continue to appreciate.

quite a few years ago we rehabbed a house at 80th and Tracy and over a weeks time the neighbors worked very hard to steal the AC, they removed a bolt on the cage around it, one bolt at a time, they were down to the last bolt when we had the AC guy remove it and store it until the new owner purchased and placed a tenant.
Pretty much, you want to be West of Holmes - although between about 63rd to about 78th, between Paseo and Holmes is a bit better area.
The closer you get to 85th though the worse it gets.
Then again I know several people here on BP that invest in that area, but it all depends on the street. Right @Andrew Syrios
Yeah, I definitely prefer to be west of Holmes, but Kim is right. Between Holmes and Troost is OK and between Troost and Paseo in the high 60's and 70's is tolerable. Be careful there as there is more crime and the values are less so you can easily rehab out your equity. It's definitely a cash flow area and not one for appreciation. I wouldn't go east of Paseo unless you specialize in that kind of housing though.

The criteria varies from property management company to property management company and from apartment to apartment. Although, I will say, most don't accept people with recent felonies. The only way to know for sure is to call various PM companies and ask them as all their criteria will be somewhat different.
