A start up investment company perhaps with a local incubator like RAIN could tap local real estate investment expertise and work with UO Lundquist Center for Entrepreneurship School and/or 3 PM students, professors for creative entrepreneurial answers. IF LCC still has a building department, those resources could be part of the collaborative effort. Good OJT.

Entities might be able to gather a discrete fund even through a local financial institution like a credit union, from local employers, retirees or others to buy and convert buildings for secondary units and offer them to singles or couples purchasing together. With as many as 10 offers coming in for homes in niche neighborhoods, it may be time to think in new paradigms.

In conjunction with a designated local or statewide lottery ticket, proceeds could go to a public or private supported fund and organization capable of fusing interests to provide a win win situation.
