This means you'll want to "write off" expenses related to a property you have in service because if those expenses don't benefit you this year they could in the future once you sell the property.We can get into a lot more details with the "if" "and" or "buts" BUT I think this would be the "simplest" answer without diving into your specific situation here.I hope this helps! 

More states are creating "just cause" eviction laws, essentially stating the landlord must allow the tenant to remain in the property except for a few specific situations.It won't end well.

Investors can always benefit from working with someone who knows how to align opportunities with specific strategies.Are there particular types of properties or investment strategies you’ve seen gaining traction in the Seattle area lately?

Do you need input from specific property owners or market experts for your "granular" data?

Hello @Matthew Hull,Scripts can be helpful, but we sound like robots if we rely on them too much. 

I never go off of a flat percentage on anything, I analyze the costs to get to a specific return I target and analyze the risk that is involved. 70% may be an initial metric to see if it is even worth pursuing, but every deal should be evaluated independently based on costs, time and risk involved.

One of my first questions is always - "what are your specific goals?"

Without knowing the specifics of the neighborhood or property I would expect it to appreciate the same as other 1-4 units in the area over the next decade.

The restrictions, requirements and timelines on these are very specific and one mistake can be very costly. 

Shoot us a PM if you want to brainstorm specifics.. or if you're curious how I've worked through this with properties in Phoenix and San Antonio.
