Good Morning,I am a former Claims Specialist with the Social Security Administration and currently unemployed homeowner who is looking for guidance on how to gain property management experience here in the Central Coast of California.My wife is the only one working at the moment, so times are tough to say the least.We're looking to rent out a portion of our home in order to save up enough money to purchase our second home (or multi-family unit), rent that out, and begin to expand our portfolio. 

I am under contract for a 3 family home w a very unique set up. 2- 1 bedroom apartments and 3 and 4th duplex which has 5 bedrooms but only 1 bathroom this home is 8 min from Brown University in RI and 10 min from Johnson Wales. (6miles)Do u think its close enough to attract college students especially the duplex? 

. - Inefficiency with payouts and administration will be compounded as the FAIR Plan has zero experience with a major pay out and lack infrastructure of assessors and technology to distribute the funds they don’t have.

or rather, "Konnichi wa!"

Hear your Buffett comment loud and clear and current administration is already making waves.Thinking out loud - cashing out the brokerage account seems like it should be an all or nothing move, to maximize the reward from going all in on RE for FI. 

I do specialize in VA loans, am licensed in WA, and would be happy to help you out at least with advice.

I provide acquisitions all around CA, WA NC & GA Primarily, but still Look to contract everywhere else.

specifically AZ, NV TX, UT, WA and CA

I need some help with dealing with a tenant in kirkland, WA.
