*Finally not “Fun at” 

@Account Closed also I was wondering what exactly made you fun at leave the state? What laws or regulations were the most hurtful to you? 

@Account Closed Thank you for your reply! I assumed that Seattle would be one of the toughest areas, I live in central Washington and am trying to figure out if the rest of Washington follows suit with the difficulty’s that Seattle has going for it! 

Hello my name is Colby, I’m thinking about buying a rental property in Oregon and was wondering if any rental property owners in Oregon might be able to tell me what it’s like! What they like and don’t like about Oregon! Thank you! 

Hello my name is Colby and I’m looking to invest in a rental property in Washington state. I was wondering if any rental property owners might be able to tell me what it’s like to be a landlord here and what you like and don’t like about Washington state! Thank you! 

@Lara White thanks for the reply! I will set some alerts now! I’ve been reading a lot of books on basic real estate and flipping. Also a lot of books by bigger pockets! Do you have any you would recommend? 

@Bruce Woodruff No I haven’t heard anything about Oregon and Washington being landlord unfriendly. What makes them unfriendly? Or where should I start looking to find out? 

@Brandon Goldsmith I’m really set on the Pacific Northwest I’m thinking foreclosures and short sales if I find the right home I’m sure I can put 60-70% down then finance the rest! 

@Account Closed it is very possible! What area are you looking into? I live in the Pacific Northwest which right now is super expensive but I’m hunting for short sales and looking into foreclosures. I like the idea of cash then refinance it just sounds more comfortable to me! 

@Brad Hammond My thought was to find a foreclosure or some type of short sale in the PNW area and purchase it and then force some appreciation, get a renter in it then take a loan out on the property I already own to go out and do the process again. The reason why I am in that mind frame is I’m 23 with a seasonal job so my thought is I don’t look the most stable for a loan from a bank right now! But please share any thoughts or help you might have because I am open to any thought right now! Thank you!
