Be very careful in term of future underwriting projection in area where average home price is below 500 600k, that's where bulk of new homesupply is being added and would give pressure to cashflow and appreciation.next ten years are very different than 2010-2017 era.

I couldn't tell you anything about WA state in terms of legalities within RE.

Hello,As the title says, I have found some properties that look to work in terms of cashflow and rate of return but I've never actually purchased a property before.

You'll need your address and legal description so they can look it up and tell you what you can and cannot do with the land in terms of zoning. 

It really depends on what you are looking to do in terms of property type/strategy (turnkey, BRRRR, flip, etc). 

If you can qualify, traditional financing is going to give you the best rate in terms.

It doesn't matter what you're doing in terms of investments or savings aside from this.

-Homes that aren't falling apart/need major rehab on the property-Prices in six figures overall not seven figuresWhat 2-3 cities should I really pinpoint in terms of the Zillow map to get an idea of some great options?

(This is what scared me a lot) So in terms of BRRRing here you will need to find burnt down buildings to be able to make it work to bypass the rent control requirements.

You need to decide what you like in terms of communication and then determine what price you are willing to pay for that service.
