I own several properties here and work with OOS from Cali and WA who buy turnkey, brrrr, and short-term rentals.Cost of properties are cheaper and home prices are doubling every 4-5 years. 

In Washington state right off the I 5 corridor .. my land partner got into contract for 65k ( infill lot that could handle a duplex or two units) put it on the MLS ( which is how you get top dollar) sold in 3 days multiple offers for 110k netted us 100k so 35k net profit .. which I have a formula to split with the acquisition partner. ( PS its always more to them than me) but bottom line if you can fill your pipeline its easily a low 6 figure to mid to high 6 figure when you have a capital partner like myself.. or someone else.. does take a fair amount of capital though usually 500k to 1 mil in cash to make that kind of money so thats where we come in.

Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia made a ruling that opens the door for a renewed investigation into the National Association of Realtors.The Justice Department will reopen an antitrust investigation into the National Association of Realtors, an influential trade group that has held sway over the residential real estate industry for decades.

Plan on adding a 100kw DC charger, around 50k-100k after rebates. 

On a 550k purchase w/ a 200k remodel, am I paying the down on 550k or 750k?

Also as per WA state law landlords must list screening criteria. https://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?
