So, essentially it takes out a lot of the guessing and constantly looking at your competition to get you more bookings.

- Do you have any advice for first-time investors tackling a rehab-heavy property?

I know this is a super competitive space and like @Joshua Granberg said, the new zoning changes in western Washington in recent years has been a game changer for these types of units.

If you're living in one of the units, you can often get a residential loan with competitive interest rates.- **Financing Options**: Look into FHA loans or conventional loans that allow owner-occupancy.

@Jonathan Feliciano Ask yourself what competitive edge does this boots on the ground partner brings to the table a reputable GC and PM can’t provide?

By listing it lower, it may be more likely to be supported by comps AND could create a demand buzz that will lead to multiple offers and competition.

Heavy duty, old fashioned machines that don't have motherboards or other electronics that tend to burn out.  

As you can tell, it’s a very competitive industry and many loan officers will do whatever it takes to get your credit pulled and pay for an appraisal. 

I understand certain neighborhoods in America will be heavy to section 8 and its preferred as the market tenants tend to not pay .

You can get much better returns and less competition than a condo.
