Yes the accent was very strong back then 1980's, but the plain clothed cops were great.We eventually sold that student housing property for a huge profit JUST before it was outlawed by a code change, a GF of a friend worked in the city office so we had 'insider trading' info on the soon to be legislated laws, so we sold it up & running with great rental income. 

High rent to lower acquisition point is a huge factor, but please don't ignore all the other factors - net migration, income growth, path of progress, job diversity, legislation, taxes, personnel in the area to build a successful team....etcI heard on a podcast the other day that your internal team is like your golf swing and the area you choose is the golf club you select.

@Avee-Ashanti ShabazzYes, I'm sure the government is just going to bend over backwards for poor minority populations in America and pass that legislation yesterday.

The fact that Seattle is very hostile to landlords right now (various existing regulations) and would pass rent control tomorrow if it were legal statewide  (wait for next WA legislative session... we will almost certainly get something like what OR has and CA is getting) should be foremost on the minds of anybody looking to take advantage of this as well.

A large medical district, major tourism attractions and the center of state legislation. 

I hear a lot of conflicting opinions about being both an agent and a wholesaler.What is the legislation?

Also, you should consider the pending legislation on rent caps, rent freezes, etc....Other than that, the same work and opportunities are available in CA for apartments.

I find it a waste of time to worry about legislative proposals until they become law.

Additionally, they advocate for landlords both with the legislator and bring legal challenges against the cities and state for regulatory overreach.Beyond that, you can also join local groups on Facebook & Meetup.com.
