During 6am sanctuary I read an email from our tenant in Steel. He needed to move to El Paso by March 1st. I told him were were sorry to see him go, but understood. Later I sent him the buy-out process, updated the website to say we had one unit available and posted a craigslist ad with Broadway pictures (they have the same setup only a mirror of Steel and had better lighting).
At of 8:20 AM a new wrinkle in owning a seven-plex exposed itself. What happens when a gutter is forced off the building due to torrential rains? Answer: a sink hole is born.

Re: Sink hole and fallen downspout
Hi Guys,
Looks like the wind loosened a downspout not he west side from the top roof to the lower roof. The sink hole can wait for dryer weather, but it would be good to have the downspout reattached as soon as possible.

Re: Sin hole and fallen downspout
Can you please get a gutter guy on the repair asap so we don't blow out the landscaping?
By mid-morning we received a half dozen responses including a woman who works for Nike and lives down the street, and the owner of Fifty Licks an upstart artisan ice cream company, and a couple moving from New York. Wind it up baby.

Jeff and I were enjoying dinner when I heard my phone text double-ding sound on the counter. Since we were in the middle of screening applicants, I checked. My jaw dropped. I plopped back into my chair and slide my phone over to Jeff. In 24 hours our tenant in Steel went from "gotta move" to "changed my mind." In-between we had cranked up the machine and had new tenants in the middle of the screening process. Dilemma. We spent the rest of dinner googling tenant and landlord rights in Oregon.
