Big bold letters in the contract, in person, and again at closing:"This transaction WILL affect your ability to obtain financing for future large purchases"With that, I would highly suggest not keeping it for a few years.

Be bold!

I like the bold colors!

I was more frustrated that this article was put out with bold text, strong/factual-seeming statements, etc., and could be potentially wrong on even a very basic level.

As for your other question my answers are in bold to make them easier to read:I know that there's some disagreement about how ready I am to get a house or plex, but for those who have recommended the plex, is that a solution to my current income problem, something which would allow me to get the loan while only making 30,000/year at the time of applying?

The end being productive, deep, long term, and profitable relationshipsMy process at networking events goes something like:See someone who is not currently engrossed in a conversation (ideally - sometimes you might have to just be bold and join a group.

The HOA is a plus in this neighborhood as it employs street sweepers, there are parks, and all houses have similar brickwork on the fascade.I might have come out a bit bold with my original pricing, but comps and $/SF of recent sales projected I could have listed it even higher.I’m happy I didn’t.I’ve made a couple price reductions over time and really believe this house is a fantastic deal at $1.2 million.I’m seeing very few sales over a million in this area of Sammamish and Issaquah and think that’s the culprit.What should I do to get this house sold?

But sometimes you have to dive in, be bold and take the leap.

We don't really have much information about your portfolio so I think it's rather audacious for us to assume anything and make such bold suggestions or recommendations...We don't even know about your equity position, the rent rates, how much your property manager is charging, what type of financing (if any) you have on the properties, your overall strategy and really much else about why your properties are performing as such.The fact the you have 5 properties and you have positive cash flow is pretty cool to me! 

Fortune favors the bold!
