Rule #1 – Be Consistent
As you build your portfolio of Portland Oregon Rental Property it’s important to remember to always be consistent in everything you do including running credit checks on all potential renters, making promises about repairs and dealing with all of your renters the same way versus showing “favoritism” to one renter compared to another.
