Exit at nearly double the initial purchase.

You are better off buying cashflow properties that have the potential to double every couple years than buy a property and be stuck. 

I have come across a handful of properties that are for sale, but were sold within the last 2 or 1 year for sometimes double or triple the price. 

Franky, It's a double edged sword now.  

Here in Chicago, we charge to walk properties with our clients, so you could double-check with some of your local GCs in Seattle to see if you could pay them for their time. 

We don't typically market the contract itself as much as we market the property for a potential double close.

Haha,I was famous there once upon a time - https://9now.nine.com.au/the-block/i-doubled-my-money-on-aus...Negative gearing is buying a property where the rent doesn't cover your mortgage.You tally up the total monthly losses and let's say you where negative $30,000 for that year.You earn $100,000 from your salary that year.But you would only pay income tax on $70,000 as your property was negatively geared by $30,000 for that year.Make sense?

I saw no signs of double close transactions.

Without discussing or get an acknowledgement from me NREIG changed my portfolio coverage and jack up my premium across my portfolio by more than double. 

You can double your money in one year if your property appreciates only 5%.
