In the Portland OR area - are there any residential areas within commuting distance (less than an hour drive)

Asked Fri Nov 30 2007, 06:16 by Mark S - Portland - Quality of Life - 7 answers

Martin answered:

I think Raelyn meant that Washington DOESN'T have state income tax and Oregon does. Since the airport is on the East side I would definitely look in the eastern reaches of portland or vancouver. Rural towns on the west side of portland would mean driving THROUGH downtown during rush hour twice a day. I would look at areas like Camas, WA or Damascus, Boring, Sandy, or Troutdale in Oregon. Sandy seems to be booming lately and it is on a direct path between Portland and Mt Hood if you like outdoor fun. - Sun Dec 16 2007, 18:27

Asked Sat Nov 10 2007, 22:21 by Martin - Portland - Financing - 4 answers

Martin answered:

Well I checked with some local agents because it is hard to find insurance rates online. I'm using it to forecast my expenses for a rental so I just wanted some ballpark figures. I got 4 quotes for $100K in coverage with a $1million balloon coverage for potential lawsuits and the quotes ranged from $241/yr to $450/yr. I hope that is helpful to others looking for some average rates. These are all landlord policies so they have no personal property coverage like a regular homeowners policy. - Mon Nov 12 2007, 15:31

Our house in Portland, MI has been for sale for over 2 months and we have had no showings. We've had 2 open

Asked Tue Oct 23 2007, 07:11 by Monica Kehr - Portland - Home Selling - 2 answers

Martin answered:

If you need to sell it soon, lower the price. Thats the simplest way to make it appeal to more people. If you can afford to wait, keep it high and work on different ways to market it with your realtor like gloria says. Tell your realtor to have open houses. - Sat Nov 10 2007, 21:04
