I'm a great tenant that has had monumentally bad experiences with landlords, so landlords can expect astute and swift responses of me. 

give me your credit card info and I will remove the spirits through advance rituals and arcane spiritual extraction ceremonysplease be swift!

Some parts of the west end are decent and the Portland area appears to be turning around pretty swiftly.  

For example, our last two properties were purchased at 60% of ARV and 65% of ARV and these were considered magnificent deals. 

With my bank they charge a 15$ fee for a SWIFT transfer or 4$ for direct deposit.

I saw some multi-family units in Swift Current and some in Edmonton. 

Magnificent, congrats.

It won't last long, and it will be easier for you than it was for me, trust me :)This is an unfortunate situation, but I think it will end swiftly such as SARS did 17 years ago once the weather starts warming up.

This will naturally involve expenses, but it could provide peace of mind and facilitate a swift restoration of your unit's functionality.
