J.P.,
PI stands for Payment & Interest. The other standard acronym is of course PITI: Payment, Interest, Taxes & Insurance

There is a condo for sale in Portland Oregon where the realtor took a picture of the toilet. At least the seat was down. LOL Nice condo though.

Sorry, but I have no idea what “PI” means (other than 3.141592654…), and I thought I knew RE pretty well. If I were ever to buy-and-rent landlord, I’d naturally include the costs of vacancy, taxes, agent commissions, repairs, but what the heck is PI?? Do you mean the interest on a loan? It never occured to me to borrow money to buy one of these things, that’s nuts.

Also curious why you don’t included the addresses of these places, so readers can follow and see where they actually sell. Asking prices are typically dropped multiple times, multiple months before the place actually sells.
