President’s Message Recently, RHA Oregon held our third annual Starry night fundraiser for JOIN on July 20th at the RHA Oregon office and annex. Our goal was to raise funds to donate in order to get a family off of the streets and into housing. The event includes silent and oral auctions and the opportunity RHA Oregon President to network with other members and affiliates. The food was John Sage excellent: barbequed ribs, chicken, potato salad, corn on the cob, and baked beans provided by Bradford’s Sport’s Lounge. Refreshments were provided by Uptown Market and Rainmakers LLP. Auction items were donated by members of the RHA Oregon board, Standard TV and Appliance, Portland Tax Company, Acorn Property Management, Real Estate Roofing, and countless others. The members of the Starry Night committee and our office staff gave untold amounts of time and effort to make this event the success that it was. I would like to say “Thank you!!” and also that you make me very proud of our organization. Property owners are a very caring and giving group of people that don’t get the recognition that they deserve for their efforts to provide quality housing.

(If I didn’t name everyone involved specifically I apologize, as space is limited, but understand that your donations of either time or items were greatly appreciated).

Since we started partnering with JOIN 3 years ago, RHA Oregon has been feeding the homeless at their facility once a month. Every 2nd Tuesday of the month from 11:30 am to 1 pm. Volunteers from RHA Oregon show up with food that they have cooked beforehand and serve lunch to 60 or more homeless people. The number served changes from month to month with usually more served during the cold winter months. Tony Kavanagh and Alita Dougherty, as members of the Community Relations committee, have been leading this effort for the last 3 years. Sincerest thanks to them for running such a fine program!!! If you would like to volunteer to cook or help serve lunch, please contact Cari Pierce at our office and she can get you in contact with the committee.

Coming in August is the annual RHA Oregon Picnic at Oaks Park, on Wednesday August 10th, starting at 2:00 pm. Since long before I was a member, RHA Oregon has been holding this event. This is another great opportunity to meet and network with other members and affiliate vendors. There is, of course, the picnic dinner and rides for the kids. There is also the vendor fair, so you can get to know some of our vendors and how they can help you. Then to round out the event, there is Bingo at the end of the night so be sure to bring an age-appropriate prize to donate for the person playing bingo. Your board of directors will be there serving

Risk Management Taught by Katie Poole-Hussa

Successfully managing your own investment properties requires the mind set of a business professional. Without the correct knowledge, it can be easy to quickly lose money, time and sleep by making some common landlord mistakes. I look forward to discussing some practical know-how, leaving our emotions out of rental management, and avoiding the traps that can lead to court.

Death in a Unit

by Cliff Hockley, Bluestone & Hockley Real Estate Services

It is not uncommon to have a resident pass away at a property, whether in their apartment, on the grounds or even in a hot tub or pool.

Sometimes, the on-site manager can anticipate this in advance, if a tenant is elderly or ill for example.

Good on-site managers make sure to check in on such tenants and will notice if the tenant has not been seen or heard fromrecently. Other deaths are sudden or even violent and require training to handle properly.

If you believe that one of your tenants might be in trouble or may have died, you can call the police to do a wellness check. A tenant may be incapacitated inside a unit and unable to call for help. If the police find a body they will call in the coroner, investigate the cause of death, and notify the next of kin.

If you discover a body, you can check for signs of life but do not disturb anything in the unit or vicinity. If a person is non-responsive, call 911. If you are an onsite manager also call your supervisor and your supervisor should notify the property owner.

The police will request any information on the deceased that the building management might have, so their file should be readily accessible. Check for emergency contact information as the police will use this to identify the next of kin. Managers should ask the police to let them know once the next of kin have been notified and also request a copy of the police report for the tenant’s file.

Leasing a property after a death Once the body has been removed the management may not be given access to the unit until the coroner and the police have completed their investigations. The authorities will advise when it is O.K. to re-enter the apartment.

When you have been granted access to the unit you must work quickly to prevent any permanent damage.

If there are any pets the emergency contact needs to

know that they require care. If no one is available to take care of the pets, animal control should be called.

The unit should be cleaned as soon as possible. Any items that are contaminated with bodily fluids will need professional cleaning or removal, (carpeting, flooring, chairs, mattresses, walls, sheetrock). Jeff Darr, owner of Crime Scene Service in Monroe, NC noted in a recent article that, “A decomposed body is one of the worst health hazards, time and temperature influence decomposition, and the fatty tissue in a human body is like kerosene in that it won’t evaporate like gasoline will. It’s a greasy substance and it absorbs into the carpet and the floor. If someone dies in bed, the fluids can seep through the mattress, the box spring, the carpet, the floor—and sometimes you even have to pull up the sub-floor; the hepatitis B or C virus can live outside the body for seven days.” His and other death cleaning companies have chemicals that kill hepatitis, MRSA, and staph. Check on the property or tenant’s insurance policies if the coverage includes this service.

Any cleaning efforts may be hampered by the presence of the tenant’s personal effects, and the process of relinquishing this property must follow specific instructions established by law. It is a good idea to check with an attorney to be sure that you follow the process correctly.

Public notice Abandoned property rules require the posting of an abandonment notice. In Oregon, the abandonment rights and responsibilities apply to an heir or devisee; any personal representative named in a will or appointed by a court; and any person designated in writing by the tenant to be contacted by the landlord in the event of the tenant’s death.

The abandonment notice must be mailed to ALL of the following three parties: the deceased resident at the rental address; any heir, devisee, personal representative or designated person known by the landlord, and the “Estate Administrator of the Department of State (continued on page 7)

6

:RENTAL ALLIANCE UPDATE AUGUST 2016

www.rhaoregon.org

Death in a Unit CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6

Lands” You must allow the heir, devisee, personal representative and estate administrator the opportunity to remove the personal property if they contact you within 8 days of mailing the notice and provide reasonable evidence that they are in fact the heir, devisee, or personal representative or estate administrator. With the help of the police, establish a list of individuals authorized to enter the unit. Request the ID of anyone who arrives to remove the personal items to verify their identity.

If they need a few extra days, that’s fine, but establish a date in which the unit will be back to re-rent. If the next of kin want to continue to control the unit, rent will need to be paid. Also, if the tenant left unpaid rent, notify the estate of this and when the next rent payment will be due. If property is unclaimed it should be auctioned and the proceeds sent to Department of State Lands Unclaimed Property.

If the balance is less than $5,000 that amount can be counted toward tax losses. If the balance owed is over $5,000 you may wish to pursue the estate.

Some circumstances require a public response. In the case of a violent death, consult the police on the proper

procedure to inform residents. Make the response timely (within 48 hours) to calm fears. You may also want to organize a neighborhood watch or ask the police to drive through more often for the weeks after the incident. In higher crime areas, it may be a good investment to hire a security company to increase the visible security on the property.

In cases where a long term and/or much loved tenant has passed you may want to express your condolences to the surviving family by sending a sympathy card and allow fellow tenants to pay their respects by staging a community get-together honoring the life of the tenant.

Summary A death in a unit is typically an unplanned event, often a traumatic one in cases of a suicide or a murder.

This creates an environment of uncertainty for the onsite manager, the neighboring tenants and the property owner. Communication is important; so is humanity.

Though the unit may remain vacant longer than anyone would like, showing compassion to family members who may not have anticipated the travel or storage of the deceased’s property, not to mention the loss of their loved one, is more important that a timely turn.

Dear Maintenance Men:

By Jerry L’Ecuyer & Frank Alvarez Dear Maintenance Men: I have a unit with old laminate counter tops. The counter tops are sound, but are very dull and faded looking. Can the tops be saved? I don’t want to replace them at this time. Do you have any suggestions?

Bill Dear Bill: It will be impossible to make your counter tops look new again, however with a little bit of elbow grease, we can give them a new lease on life. First thoroughly clean the counter top with Soft Scrub or a similar product, rinse completely. The laminate rehab products are wax-based sealers found in name brands like Gel Gloss or Minwax.

They can be in paste, liquid or spray form, however do not use auto wax. You may want to apply these products from time to time as the counter tops lose their luster.

Dear Maintenance Men: I own 8 units and enjoy doing minor maintenance around my building. One of my current projects is to repair three persistent leaks on my roof. The property has a flat roof. Can you give me some advice on tracking down these leaks?

Don Dear Don: Flat roof leaks can be extremely tricky to trouble shoot.

Water intrusions tend to travel, then drop at the lowest point of your roof and ceilings. A careful inspection would include checking following: 1. Flashing around vent stacks and gravel stop roof edges.

2. Exposed roofing nail heads.

3. Drainage systems on the roof or directly adjacent to the building.

4. Exposed roofing that is devoid of gravel or stone cover.

5. Roof seams or laps.

6. Blisters and water pooling areas on the roof.

Some solutions and preventative maintenance: a. Caulk all flashings and exposed roof seams with roofing Henry’s 208. It comes in gallon or tube form. b. Caulk any exposed roofing nails. c. Score blisters with a utility knife and inject Henry’s www.rhaoregon.org

208 with a caulking gun into the blister opening.

Apply pressure until cement oozes out of the cut.

Install desired size of cap sheet as a patch. d. Cover any exposed roofing material with gravel or stone. (This keeps the sun from rotting the material.) e. Secure any loose gutters and clean out drainage systems. f. Seal any cracks in the stucco, water can wick into these cracks. g. You may want to consider installing roof drains in the areas that rain water pools the most. h. To help keep cracks from coming back, use fiberglass webbing with your patch material.

Dear Maintenance Men: How do I get a fiberglass tub clean without scratching the surface?

John Dear John: The nice thing about fiberglass tubs and showers is that no matter how dirty they get, they are fairly easy to clean up. Be careful not to use any abrasives on the fiberglass, such as scouring pads, steel wool or gritty cleaning solutions. “Soft Scrub” may be used sparingly on soap scum buildup. “Lime-Away” may be used for hard water mineral deposits, but read the directions and look for the fiberglass warning or approval statement. If you have very tough stains, moisten a cloth with clean Acetone solvent or nail polish remover. Do not let the Acetone pool as it may soften the fiberglass material. Acetone and many other cleaners have very strong vapors, so it is important to ventilate the area properly. After all the cleaning is done, the fiberglass surface may be dull. Use a fiberglass conditioner and glossing paste to bring the tub or shower back to its original condition. You can use a product called “Gel Gloss” to bring back the shine.

How to Sell a Property with a Tenant Living in It

by Robert Cain

This primarily occurs with singlefamily homes and duplexes or fourplexes. However, it can be a problem with large complexes, as well, if the showing and sale process is handled with no regard to tenants.

The reason it becomes a problem is that you, as the seller of the property, are dealing with two separate customers, the tenant and the prospective buyer, each of whom may have conflicting needs and wants. To each you need to provide good customer service.

A subscriber recently wrote asking me: “How do I show and sell the multiplexes without scaring away my tenants? I have long-term leases with most of them, but I don’t want to hassle them or even make them aware that I am selling their property, if possible.”

What happens is that tenants see the property is going to be sold, get upset, become uncooperative and possibly even move out. They seem to think that you selling the property will automatically mean they will have to move anyway, so they do it on their schedule rather than yours.

People, as a rule, are more comfortable with the way things are rather than the unknown. If your tenants are not moving out anyway, chances are they will be at least a little nervous if you put their home on the market.

What follows are some ideas for getting a property sold without upsetting your current customers.

Multifamily properties (more than four units) 1. No “For Sale” sign is necessary on the property, even though it doesn’t hurt. The sign could have the effect of agitating tenants. Instead use other advertising techniques. If your property is listed with a Realtor, agent-to-agent advertising, the Multiple Listing Service and other advertising will provide the necessary exposure.

2. If it wouldn’t be a burden or affect your cap rate too

much, you can keep a display or vacant unit open for inspection by prospective buyers. However, buyers of apartment houses don’t usually expect to see the interiors of the units until they have an accepted offer.

So there is no need to show the property before you have a written offer that you have accepted. Make sure the buyer understands that he or she can write the offer “Subject to interior inspection.”

3. If you choose not to use the “subject to. . .” system, qualify buyers before you show the property. Find out from the prospective buyer if he or she actually can and would buy the property if it suits his or her needs. Too often you get tire kickers or people who just attended a “no- money-down” seminar or listened to a set of Carleton Sheets tapes and don’t quite understand the concept. So they call everybody who is selling a property for a showing and then write an offer that there’s no way you will accept. Find out in advance what your “buyer’s” situation is before you bother your tenants.

4. Have a complete Profit and Loss statement on the property ready to show any qualified buyer. That could help him or her decide if he or she needs to see the property. If the numbers will work, have them write an offer and/or arrange for a showing and disrupt your tenants. Otherwise, spare your tenants and yourself the trouble of a showing that probably won’t result in a sale.

5. Send a letter to each of the tenants whom you want to keep saying something like the following: Dear valued tenant [use your tenant’s actual name], We have put the property where you are living on the market. We are writing this letter to assure you that we want to make the sale process as easy on you, our valued customer and tenant, as possible.

To that end, we will avoid showing your home to anyone but buyers from whom we have an offer to buy the property. Even then, we will give you adequate notice that we are going to show your home to that potential buyer. (continued on page 16

RENTAL ALLIANCE UPDATE AUGUST 2016

15 The buyer of this apartment complex will be an investor, who wants to keep good tenants living in it. Since you are one of our valued tenants, we hope this letter will reassure you that we and the new buyer intend to disrupt your life as little as possible.

If you have any questions, please call.

How to Sell a Property CONTINUED FROM PAGE

Two- to Four-Units 1. A “For Sale” sign is a good idea though not necessary. It gives investors, and people in the neighborhood who might want to be investors, notice that the property is for sale. The sign will be disruptive to your tenants, but with the appropriate letter, you may be able to allay their fears.

2. Just as you would for the multiunit properties, qualify your buyers. Here that is even more important, because you will get calls from even more unqualified prospects. If you are going to list your property with a Realtor, do not hire a Realtor who will want to show the property to anybody who wants to see it. Make sure that the Realtor puts in the listing form that “property will be shown to prequalified buyers only.” Too often, Realtors, who apparently don’t have anything better to do than show properties to people who can’t buy a painted rock, will call your tenants constantly for showings to people who have no chance of being able to buy the property.

This process does not have to be intrusive and does not entail a lengthy preapproval by a lender, though that doesn’t hurt. What you do want is just basic information about whether the prospective buyer is a legitimate buyer or just a looker.

3. Consider compensating your tenants for easy showings. The Landlord-Tenant Laws in many states either permit that specifically or allow you to make agreements with tenants that are somewhat outside the usual rules for showing properties.

Normally you would have to allow 24 to 48 hours before you can get access to a property, but you might pay your tenant for every showing he or she allows without waiting the required time. The amount is something you would have to work out with your tenant.

4. Avoid requiring buyers to write offers subject to interior inspection. Many will simply pass on using their time on something that may not pan out.

5. Be prepared to open the books with a Profit and Loss statement before the buyer writes an offer.

Single-family Homes This type of property is the most difficult to sell with a tenant living in it. The tenant is understandably nervous, because more than half the time the buyer will want to move into the property, thus requiring the tenant to move.

1. Put up a “For Sale” sign. No sign—no sale.

Something on the order of 40 percent of all calls on single-family homes for sale come from yard signs.

2. Just as with the two-to-four-unit properties, see if you can arrange to compensate the tenant for allowing showings.

3. If it is likely that an investor will buy the property, assure the tenant that he probably won’t have to move.

4. Don’t require a “subject to interior inspection” clause in the sales agreement. You will eliminate more than half of your potential buyers.

5. Qualify your buyers before you show the property and bother your tenants.

6. Important tip: Use someone impersonating a buyer to see the property, especially if you are using a Realtor to sell it. Often tenants will tell potential buyers all kinds of lies about problems (continued on page 17)

with the building to drive them off.

I had an experience once where a tenant somehow created a drip in the ceiling to show buyers when they came through so the buyers would think there was a major problem with the roof. The tenants added their own special touches to the effect that “this has been going on for a year and the landlord won’t do anything about it.”

The phony buyer will report back to you if the tenant is discouraging potential buyers by lying about the property. If he is, evict him immediately. You might also mention your option of suing him for restraint of trade. Maybe the tenant would win the suit, but the expense of hiring a lawyer and going through all the legal hassles would most likely bankrupt the tenant.

Chances are he will move out immediately. Yes, it will cost you money to have a vacant property, but you will never sell it with that tenant living there.

Usually single-family rentals sell best when they are vacant. Keep that in mind when you put one on the market.

Selling a property with a tenant living in it can be a challenge. No matter what you do, you will have at least a few problems. But using some of these ideas, you can make it easier and get more for your property.

Some 30 years ago Bob Cain went to a no-money-down seminar and got the notion that owning rental property would be just the best idea there is for making money. He bought some. Trouble was, what he learned at the seminar didn’t tell him how to make money on his rental property. He went looking for help in the form of a magazine or newsletter about the business. He couldn't find any. Always ready to jump at a great idea, he decided he could put his speaking and writing skills to work and perform a valuable service for other investors who needed more information about property management. So Bob ferreted out the secrets, tricks and techniques of property management wherever he found them; then he passed them along to other landlords. For over 25 years now, Bob has been publishing information, giving speeches, putting on seminars and workshops, and consulting for landlords on how to buy, rent and manage property more effectively.
