Nonetheless, I believe experience is priceless in any and every market, so I am open to conversations with people of any background and upbringing.Thanks!

I have less knowledge about Seattle but my oldest friend did a basement conversion ADU in Seattle (I am at her birthday in Long Beach Washington at this moment).  

I always ensure to bring it up to every one I talk to about my retirement plan or my investment criteria even if it's just a small part of the conversation they will remember you if a deal comes up.

I will identify value add opportunities like walk-out basements, room conversion opportunities, etc. 

Nothing is holding me back; we already own the house and are performing the conversion.

This past Wednesday, agents, realtors, and investors gathered at The Radian for a night of meaningful connections and great conversations over drinks.

Good conversation, but the driving force will really have to come from you. 

There's a whole conversation to be had about what you've posted because you went into it in quite a lot of detail, but it would behoove you to have a convo with someone who is actually in the trenches. 

It would be best if you had that conversation when sending or offering your off-market deal to a buyer's agent. 

Every conversation we have had between then has gone cold when we ask them to fill out the rental application and let them know there will be a tenant lease to sign before they can book/stay.
