@Levi BernardWelcome to the BiggerPockets community!

OK Levi,  I get that there are always posts about such impending dooms (obviously something is in the air or everyone is crazy)  Im not talking about making good or bad deals. 

(Washington state has a ~2% excise tax).

Excise taxes averaging 1.7% of every sale.  

Thanks Levi, it has a gas boiler.

And more than one investor has been literally shocked by "special assessments" that they had no clue could be levied.   

Rather, Oregon would tax you on all of the capital gains realized upon the sale of your Oregon property—including the Washington-sourced gains that had been deferred.Even California operates this way when it comes to the reverse situation; California levies capital gains taxes against non-California-sourced capital gains that happen to be realized in California.

You live in Sacramento and your situation is similar with all the levies that the Corp of Engineers built along the River and when the San Andreas Fault really moves, Sacramento will be under ten feet of water.

Yes, Levi, but the Abandonment clause does not apply where the tenant has paid rent. :)

I really love Levi T.s approach on always working a few singles/duplexes into the mix as a great way to pyramid and compound your wealth building strategy.Cheers to your success!
