  I've been renting a house in the Irvington neighborhood of Portland Oregon (97212) for the last 3 years at about 1/2 of the going rate; and where the average selling price of a "fixer" is $350k and a rehab'd is over $500k. I lucked out and found an "old guard" landlord who's owned a half dozen houses in this neighborhood for the last 40 years, i.e. pre-gentrification. We're currently renting his 4 bdrm 2 bath house for $1000/mo, there was never any lease, deposit, key exchange, cleaning fee or anything. we have a verbal agreement to rent this house for another 2 years, without any rent increase......fingers crossed. I actually have found it better to lie or hide the fact that we have such an advantageous deal, a lot of my peers are paying this for studio/1bdrm apartments, i usually lie and tell people we pay $1900, which is still considered a screaming deal.
