The Willamette Valley
MORE Realty Al Cronemiller Licenced in the State of Oregon The Willamette Valley When you travel the Willamette valley you will see it’s a pretty big area, after all 70% of Oregon’s population is here. Take that a step further and try to travel around Oregon and see everything, huge chore. You realize how big of a state we have. From a geological standpoint one state is not a very big area, at least when it comes to different kinds of historic events. Back in early history a Lake in Missoula Montana breached when an ice bridge broke and created a flood that headed west through Washington eventually coming down the Columbia River and into the Willamette Valley. This flood pushed topsoil and sediment down the river where much rested in the Willamette Valley. This is one of the reasons the soil is so good here. The Willamette Valley has many main towns and cities in it. South to north there is Eugene, Corvallis, Albany. Lebanon, Salem, Dallas, Woodburn, Wilsonville, Beaverton, Oregon City, Hillsboro, Portland and many more. So much to choose from. Oregon has always been known for its Timber, but with the Willamette Valley and the farm land in central Oregon produce a huge amount of food. Central Oregon is also known for its Alfalfa, watermelons, grass and beef. Oregon has many different eco systems. If you are looking for the beach it is a quick 1.25 hours from Salem. If its central Oregon and the pine timber just hear east 2 hours from Salem to the town of Sisters, OR. The further east you go the dryer it gets. The north end of the valley has a bunch going on, Portland. This area has its share of traffic, high prices, people and all the big city joys you would expect.

Land for sale in Oregon
Land for sale in Oregon There has always been plenty of land for sale in Oregon. Up until about a year and a half ago land had the normal draw, supply and demand, location ect, but things have changed. This all started with the popularity of Oregon in the last 4 or 5 years. The Moving to Oregon craze, the economy and a housing shortage has caused some people to look for land to build on. Land for sale Marion County, Oregon The average size of a lot people are looking for is about ½ acre. How many of those are there? The majority of what you see for sale is lots between 1 and 5 acres. This is great except they are limited. The 5-7,000 city lots are already owned by builders because of there clients wanting homes built. They need the dirt or they are out of business. Land for sale in Oregon I have sold a bunch of land lately from 1 ½ acre commercial in Brooks to 40 acres forest in Colton. My recent sale of 2 two acre lots in Dundee went fast. Having been raised in a family of land surveyors and foresters, everything was about the land, I learned early. I loved wood so much I was a contractor for 30 years. Land is one of my specialties. I have some listed currently around. Creating a value on any property is more an art form than an exact science. there hasn’t been enough sales to help much with land pricing. In many areas around if you have a 1-3-acre building site you can guess it is worth around 175,000 to 250,000 depending on location and beauty. They are all different and in someway connected to past sales in the area. Give me a call or email for my latest list of land in Oregon. al@cronemiller.com, I would love to help. Land in Oregon and especially the Willamette Valley (since 70% of the population is there) is in someway farming land with a mix of forest. In ancient times Lake Missoula in Montana flooded and ran across Washington and down the Columbia river and into the Willamette Valley. This flood moved a huge amount of fertile soil from 2 states away, amazing. Some say that the Willamette valley has up to a mile of top soil in it from thies historic floods. South of Salem we have Jory Hill. Our Jory hill silty clay soil is among the 10 best soils in the world for grapes. The land in Oregon has many uses. We have seen more and more planted in Hazelnuts with Starbucks being a big buyer with Hazelnut flavorings.

Apartments for sale Salem Oregon- Repositioning
Apartments for sale Salem Oregon One of the best ways to earn a higher return on investment is with Apartments for sale Salem Oregon or rather the re-positioning of an apartment complex done right. Apartments that fall into a state of disrepair and have large vacancy numbers are what we are looking for. Nine times out of ten the problem lies with the manager and the owner so once you have purchased the property and the old owner is out of the picture, make sure the manager is soon to follow. It is the two of them that created this mess. With any apartment re-positioning project you will also be re-positioning the tenant base. Make sure that your projected gross income during the repositioning process (11/2 to 2 years) takes in to account that about 30% of your current tenants will leave with the higher standards and rents that are soon to arrive. Just remembering this is a good thing. Apartments for sale Oregon We now own an apartment complex and we are ready to start. The first thing that we need to do is hire an apartment manager. If the right on is hired the apartment remodel will be much easier. Make sure to get a management company that has national standards. Like any other construction project screen and select sub-contractors, collect paper work and start the ball rolling. A reputable management company will have allot of experience with construction and repairs. Make sure all workers are held to high standards on workmanship. During this re-positioning process, you have been very careful to use building materials that have durability. Quality building materials along with quality work will ensure the work will last for a good length of time. This also is essential to create an environment for them to live in nicer than before so rents can be raised. Apartments in Oregon You might ask yourself how does this way of re-positioning earn any extra profits, were getting to that. Our main goal throughout this project is to create a place where people WANT to live, a place where they brag to their friends about how cool it is and a place they feel safe in. This right here is where your NOI (net operating income) will increase. What we have done is increase the normal tenancy of a renter, because they like it here, let them spread the word about how great it is to their friends, this greatly reduces marketing costs. When people like the place they live in they stay longer. Apartments in Salem Oregon are a great investment. When they stay longer there are fewer make-ready’s. A make ready is the cost to re-paint, clean, shampoo carpets and get the apartment ready for the next renter. This cost is one of the biggest costs on your expense sheet. Reducing this greatly increases you NOI. Our main goal in all of this is to increase occupancy to 94-96%. Increase rents to be competitive with similar apartments and to reduce expenses. This is the name of the game. We want to build a sense of community within the complex. This is accomplished in many ways. We are trying to bring people together to create friendships. This is one area that needs to be properly planned out because the expenses are worth it at the end of the year. There are many ways of doing this. Your manager should have a BBQ for everyone every 4 months. This brings people together and sets you apart from other apartments. The complex should have flowers planted and the grounds be well cared for. There should be exterior fencing to create security for the residents and plenty of lighting. If the complex houses children, a playground should be constructed for their enjoyment. You are creating a place they want to be. Apartments in Oregon Another idea is to have a monthly drawing for 100.00 cash prize. Everyone who paid their rent by the first of the month or before would be entered to win. This one trick saves lots of money if the 100.00 prize winner is known by all, every month. Send out a monthly newsletter, let everyone in the complex know what is going on around them. Let them know you are there to help. This is just a couple ways to create a sense of community. This will keep people happier and around longer. Everyone wants a nice place to live, give them this and they will stay. Another Great Article New article on Apartments Let me help with your next investment property.

Oregon’s new Senate Bill 608
Eviction Standards Eliminates no-cause eviction standard after the first year of occupancy. o Landlords can continue to evict for a tenant-based cause (current law – i.e., non-payment, violation of the rental agreement, outrageous conduct, etc.). • Adds new landlord-based for-cause reasons to evict a tenant: o Sale to a person who will move in; o Landlord or family member move-in; o Significant repair or renovation of the unit; o Removal of the unit from residential use. • If landlord uses one of these four landlord-based reasons, they must provide the tenant with 90-day notice and relocation expenses in the amount of 1 month’s rent. Exceptions • Small landlords (4 or fewer units) do not have to pay relocation expenses. • Landlords who live on the same property as their tenant (owner occupied, 2 units or less) may still use a nocause eviction at any time. Month-to-Month Tenancies • For the first 12 months of occupancy, a landlord may terminate the tenancy without cause with a 30-day notice. • After the first 12 months of occupancy, a landlord may only evict a tenant for cause, by using an existing tenantbased reason or by using one of the four new landlord-based reasons. Fixed-Term Tenancies • After the first 12 months of occupancy, the fixed-term lease will automatically roll over to month-to-month unless the landlord has a tenant or landlord-based reason to terminate. Exceptions: • A fixed-term lease might not automatically roll over at the end of the fixed term per landlord discretion if the tenant has violated the terms of the rental agreement 3 separate times during a 12-month period, with written warnings for each violation given contemporaneously with the violation. Annual Rent Increase • Landlords may increase rent by no more than 7% + consumer price index in a 12-month period. • Maintains current law regarding rent increases: prohibits rent increases in first year of month-to-month tenancy and requirement that landlords give 90-day notice of rent increases thereafter. Exceptions: • New Construction: A landlord may increase the rent above 7% +CPI in a 12-month period if the certificate of occupancy was issued less than 15 years ago. • New Tenancy: If the previous tenant vacated the unit voluntarily or their tenancy was otherwise terminated in compliance with other applicable law, the landlord may reset the rent on the new tenancy without limitation. • Subsidized Housing: If the landlord is providing reduced rent to the tenant as part of a federal, state, or local program or subsidy, they are exempt. Enforcement • If a landlord violates the new provisions, they are liable for three months’ rent plus actual damages. 2 SENATE BILL 608 SUMMARY Frequently Asked Questions: SB 608 When will the changes go into effect? Senate Bill 608 has an “emergency clause” and thus becomes effective once signed by Governor Brown. We anticipate this could be as early as March 1, 2019. If I have a transaction that closes after the law goes into effect, can the new owner evict the tenants? Depends. Generally, you may only evict for a tenant cause or a “qualifying reason for termination” under of the enumerated circumstances that the law provides. Once you become an owner of qualifying rental property, you become a “landlord” whose conduct is governed by the bill and you should review both the current law and existing tenant contracts of the property you’re purchasing. However, the law does allow for specific circumstances under which a landlord, including a new landlord, could evict a tenant landlord-based reasons including significant renovations, demolitions, safety, or owner-occupancy. How does this impact closing timelines for rental occupied properties where the new owner will occupy the residence? The closing date in the sale of real property is a construct of contract law between the parties and thus would not be affected by the new law which governs landlord-tenant relations. However, displacing a current tenant (and thus effectuating the intent of new owner who would like to move-in) is another issue (because notwithstanding the transaction between the buyer and the seller, the tenant has their own rights subject to their lease agreement and current law). If the tenant is a week-to-week tenant, or a month-to-month tenant within the first year, you have some flexibility to displace them without cause (so long as you give them the specified amount of notice) and certain circumstances apply. If the current tenant is a month-to-month renter who has been occupying for more than a year or is under a fixed term lease, evicting a tenant is subject to more regulations. Fixed-term leases will always continue, unless there is a tenantbased reason (failure to pay rent) for eviction. On a month-to-month tenancy, 90-days’ notice and the payment of relocation expenses (1-month’s rent) will be required. I heard that the law caps rent increases, but that cities and counties will be able to set high rent caps if they want? There are no exceptions for cities and counties, and therefore the rent increase cap would apply to the entire state equally. Further, any local ordinances that conflict with the statewide cap on rent increases would likely be preempted by the legislature’s acts. We advise seeking legal counsel to determine where estate and local laws may conflict and the potential impact of such a situation. 3 SENATE BILL 608 SUMMARY When it says that it applies to buildings 15 years or older, when does that date start? Is it rolling? The time period is calculated by the difference between when a notice of rent increase is sent out and when a certificate of occupancy was issued for the dwelling unit. Does selling your home count as a for-cause or no-cause eviction? The bill is intended to provided protections for tenants. Thus, if a home owner wishes to sell their home, this law would have no effect on that transaction (which is between the buyer and the seller) unless the rights of a tenant are affected. Fixed-term leases will always continue, unless there is a tenant-based reason (failure to pay rent) for eviction. On a month-to-month tenancy of under a year, a no-cause notice may be issued with 30-days’ notice. On
