I wanted to gather some feedback regarding accountants in the Seattle area. I am in the process of moving back to the area, and I need to get my books in order. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations?

Thanks!

Just curious if anyone has tried this service. I'm in the process of converting my Primary Residence into a vacation rental, and this would solve a major logistic issue I have with granting access to the house.

Melissa, I have heard "the market is too hot" virtually everywhere I've lived. In my short time on this planet, I have learned one thing: you can't put a price on happiness. If you're happy in Mt. P, you should stay there. There are deals to be had everyday in this area, you just have to look harder than other towns. If you like Greenville as an investment only, it is doable to invest from out of town, don't move simply to be "closer" to an investment.

So I believe the question is whether Detroit is coming back or not. We can argue what coming back means. For me, it means RE prices coming back to late 90s prices. I'm sure flippers are doing well there, and that's great. For those like my father who have held real estate prior to 2000, it has not been a pleasant ride. And we're talking prime locations off the Lodge. Detroit as a whole has a long way to go to be "back".

I have not been a resident of Michigan for over 10 years for the record. I've been living in many areas across the country, so I really can't comment on Charleston as I haven't been here long enough to understand what makes this place tick.

As someone who grew up in the metro detroit area for 20+ years, this article seems pretty worthless to me. There were ALWAYS areas that flippers and the like did better, i.e. Birmingham, Royal Oak,etc... To me, it just means there were areas that were so depressed, they were given away, so they had no where to go, but up. The area as a whole need to appreciate in value to "come back". Also still not sure Detroit City Council "gets it" yet, ton of bias and political agendas to get through.

Chase Payne has done all my investor closings, he's pretty quick and timely.

I use this phrase to model my entire financial portfolio and it hasn't failed me yet.

How much are you asking for them? Are they rented out currently? Condition?
