Can you verify the sqft? 

Victor, 

Are you here in Seattle? If so we should meet up. I think we can help each other out as I'm looking for investments in spokane. 

Looking for a handyman or plumber to fix a leaking bathtub.

Normally I would fix it myself but I'm an out of town investor and need to find a someone to fix a leak my tenant is reporting.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help.

@Arianne L. Thank you so much for your inspiration and tips. I really enjoyed your podcast and drive!! I've heard of delayed financing before but I'm curious if I'm missing something.. Could you help explain. The way I say it is option 1: You put 25%down and cash is locked up under traditional financing. Option 2: You pay cash then do a cash out refinance or delay financing and pull out 75% of the value but still have 25%cash locked up . Either scenario 25% of your cash is being tied to the property. Or is the benefit that when you pay cash and buy house for under the market value. Then go and do delayed financing the amount they appraise the house at is more than your purchase price? Thank you for taking the time to respond!

Hard working investor looking to partner on flip in north Seattle. Looking to get my feet wet in a flip to see if it's for me. I have some liquid capital and experience remodeling my whole house. Would love to partner up with someone with experience to learn.

@Patricia Vildozo did you ever find a CPA? I too just bought my first plane and need to find a good cpa. Thanks!

Very interested and was just about to post a similar thread. Depending on how many people respond might break it up? I'm north in Edmonds and would love to not have to commute down in that traffic. If enough people want to stay up north let me know. Could meet weekly in our areas, then once a month downtown as a whole. Just a thought.

Was wondering if anyone had a good handyman or contractor to recommend.

I live out of the area and bought a duplex in spokane and would love any feedback,

I knew I couldn't change the current lease terms. I was just hoping I could write up an addendum with new payment instructions. 

It sounds like all I can do is mail them new payment instructions?

Thanks again for your time and help. 

I know this isn't going to be what you want to hear @Jose Castillo but I actually was looking for my first deal for about 7 months. Mainly, I didn't have it narrowed down on what I wanted so I kept changing my requirements as I saw more places and locations. I think after 6 months I finally narrowed down what I wanted and where. Then it was the matter of waiting to find the right place. Both my places were found in the MLS. My first place was an estate sale and the family that took over ownership lived out of state so I don't think they knew what it really was worth and wanted to get out of it quick.

Let me know if you have other questions! All the best
