I installed a mail slot in my storage room and called it number 14!

This would free up the conventional slots for you to buy more.

In the meantime, I want to build up my investments so going back is even easier financially.I put a time slot on my calendar to follow up 03/22/21 with you here on BP.

I was in similar situation a couple of times this year and what I did was to ask for 2 or 3 hour window from the tenants and got them agreed; then arranged the showings in that time slot and was able to rent it out with just showing once (rent slightly below market). 

I'll provide a bit of context with first duplex house hack.GoalsStart building a rental portfolioNeeded a place to live and did not want to rentSafe locationSubsidized living (house hack)GaragePrivacyAble to commute to workValue add play that I could do myself or hire a contractor without breaking the bankSolutionProperty: DuplexCondition: Cosmetic rehab & rents under marketNeighborhood: 1970ish, safe, long but doable commuteGarage, big yard & subdividable – will build DADU eventuallyDid not match any of the of the “standard” rules.

And as a result, not only wasting an agent's time in showing, but eating up a time slot that a qualifying person could have occupied. 

I have a referral, but am waiting to fill my 10 conventional slots first as the rates are better. many Portfolio Lenders will only do 15 year loans or 5/30, 7/30 arms and such.

So, I'd like to make a decision before it's too late, or more buyers come into the market and increase competition.Property Info: 550-600k, 3-4 rooms, loft (can later turn into an additional 4th/5th room to add value), 1800-2200 sqft, 2 car garage, hoping for a lot size suitable for an ADU/DADU

@Mike Toole , @Jake Boyer is correct.The market here is pretty expensive, but when you are creative (rent by the room, STR, Split level houses, ADU, DADU,.....), you can get way more return on your investment compared to other markets.This is besides the great appreciation we have here in WA
