About me: I have owned this home since 2022, grew up in Oregon, am an engineer in his mid-50's, and love animals and the great outdoors.
If interested, here's the application process:
1. Contact me so we can chat about the room. If you are in the area, I can give you an in-person tour. If not, I can give you a virtual tour.
2. If the room is a good fit for your needs, I will send you a list of all house rules.
3. If the rules are acceptable to you, I will send an application and a link to authorize a credit/rental/criminal history check (costs ~$40): I am looking for a credit score 700 or above, no rental history problems, no criminal record, and before-tax income at least 3 times rent.
4. After the check passes, I will have you sign the lease.
5. When the lease is signed and initial payment completed, you are free to move in!
