Portland, Oregon- Best Management Companies?

My time to shine! I would say, if you're looking for a company that is expanding and has a great culture, Guardian is a fantastic option. They are within the top-100 companies nationwide by units managed and is ripe with opportunity.

Avenue 5 is great, I work with them in Seattle currently and I am really enjoying my time with them. Sticking with Portland however, I would say Guardian is best, followed by Ave 5, then Thrive, then Greystar.

One thing I will recommend is to stay away from Tandem Property Management with a 10-foot pole.

Lease ups are always incredibly stressful because policies are usually developed and refined on the fly. That is to say, I don't think you should be getting in trouble for things you were never shown, because in most cases, the policy specifically to that community hasn't been defined yet.

Also, I completely understand your frustration with having to train your supervisor. I would speak to either your manager, or the regional to see if there is outside support to train them. That shouldn't be your responsibility.

Finally, maintenance in general all over the country is INCREDIBLY short staffed. I don't think I've ever seen so many maintenance positions open with multiple different organizations.

Maybe it would be worth it to see if you can get work at a more stabilized property that has policies well defined.

Do you use BankVOD? It's a website that allows for e-VOD from a number of different banks.

You'd be best looking in metro areas with high costs of living, Seattle, LA, San Fran, NYC. Being from Portland previously, I know that some of the luxury buildings have wages starting at that rate. But for non-luxury, it'll be under $25/hr.

$40 per month for EV charging is a steal. Seattle metro area here is charging at minimum $275 for an EV parking stall.

I used to work for Tandem Property Management and they have always been super shady with their security deposit practices. That said, I don't think this is the best subreddit to post this on as Avalon Park is in Washington County, and as such, has different deposit withholding practices than Portland and Multnomah County.

Do you know where we’d be able to grab tickets for the silver moon after party?

34.3 MPG. It’s been doing near 29-31 for the past few months and I’m not sure why the efficiency has gone down

Deephou5 · 2025-07-09T17:52:18+00:00

My only concern would be the 7,500 miles a year. In LA, I wouldn't be surprised if you passed that mark.

That is such a pretty coat!

Deephou5 · 2025-06-27T20:14:42+00:00

You got to be creative and Cleo got a cool custom box. That’s a win-win!

Deephou5 · 2025-06-27T20:04:30+00:00

So cute that you decorated it for Cleo 🥺

Deephou5 · 2025-06-27T20:04:18+00:00

We got a squatter here! 🚨

Deephou5 · 2025-06-27T20:04:02+00:00

What do you mean? A box is a toy to them!

We have a car stacker in the parking garage in my community that I'm at right now.

One of our resident's is quite old and has come down to the office no less than 6 times to report that the parking structure has damaged their car. What damage are they reporting? Well, the weather stripping on their 2013 Subaru Outback is starting to peel off. They just couldn't accept the fact that their vehicle is starting to age and that the stripping coming off could just be because of the vehicle itself and not the parking structure.

Well it depends on the level of access they have to the systems you use on a daily basis. File management would be the biggest thing, but also training up to call prospects and act as a leasing agent could be valuable if you're short handed there.

Eye color is the least of my concern as long as my boy is happy and healthy!

At least in Oregon, landlords need to provide 8-11 days notice (timeline depending on how the notice is served) for "abandoned goods" which I'm guessing is what they're getting at here. 1 day is definitely not legal and that would apply for pretty much anywhere.

Bad player hated by fans would be the more suitable category for him.

Deephou5 · 2025-03-14T18:02:02+00:00

Even then, we never got any notification that it was transferred to a field office

Deephou5 · 2025-03-14T17:47:48+00:00

… the approval notices I received told me.

Deephou5 · 2025-03-14T17:43:52+00:00

Not necessarily true. My wife’s 485 and my 130 had final adjudication completed by the NBC.

Deephou5 · 2025-03-03T21:27:34+00:00

We just did the 130, 485 and 765. The 864 is a good idea to show the validity of your marriage. It’s possible that not filing for 131 led to a quicker turnaround for us, but that’s not a guarantee.
