Hello everyone, I recently have relocated to the city of Lacey and work in Olympia. I want to begin building relationships and networking in the area. I am looking forward to attending BP meetings in the area. I would also like to help anyone else out with what information I have learned so far. I look forward to hearing from the local investors. 

Hello fellow BP members, I am going to begin investing and was thinking of getting my broker license. How would you guys go about that? What tools would you use? Any advice would be appreciated. I would prefer to do it online if possible.

Hello everyone, I am getting ready to begin investing and am looking for a local mentor or jv partner to help with my first flip. I have been active on BP and networking locally. I am a handy person and understand how things in houses are built. Confident in my abilities to organize and complete a flip I just am lacking the financing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. 

I don't have pictures of the unit before they started the work. They had already started flipping it before I got there. 

Hey could you pm me please? Im looking to get a lender for a my first flip.

The name of the buisness is lynnwood center LLC.

I'm not sure of the landlords name other than his first name is Paul. He owns the building next to the new LA fitness on 196th and 99 that has a strip mall and just opened the bulldog saloon. I would prefer not to have to go to court because I'm not going to be close to the area anymore. 

Hello everyone, I recently moved out of an apartment in the lynnwood area and got hosed by the landlord on the way out. I put in my 20 day notice on the 11th of may month saying I would be out by the 31st of May. I called the landlord on the 22nd I called and said that today the 26th I would be done cleaning it and would call them to do a walkthrough. I pulled up this afternoon to finish up the apartment and give the landlord a call and they had already began flipping the apartment and threw my personal belongings in the garbage that was left in the apartment when I was cleaning today knowing I had until the 31st. I did paint the apartment while living there and there was damage to the blinds. There were multiple times when I was living there during the four years that there was a water leak and caused damage to the apartment and dampened the carpet. All they would ever do was come in with a shampoo machine and suck the water out but it still smelled and they never replaced the carpet. They are trying to blame me for the carpet having to be replaced and the paint having to be done. You have to repaint and recarpet every five years anyways. I went over to talk to them and I was not even given the chance to do a walkthrough and talk about the cost of things and they are trying to say that all of my $600 deposit is gone and they will not prorate the rent back to me. I didn't always pay rent by the 1st and they said in the lease that a $25 fee would be assessed if rent wasn't paid by the 5th. I never received receipts as payment for rent. I don't know where to start or what to do. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
