I am a stage 4 cancer survivor who hopes to leave my current job within one year to do real estate investing full time as I need a better way to pay medical bills and be able to pay for current and future medical care.

I am in final stages of acquiring my real estate license.  

I am in the research stage of investing in Snohomish Co. and am in the process of putting together my team and contractors are high on the list.  

If you opt to stage the apartment hang a few black and white prints and add a pop of color.I guess just choose something that looks good with the flooring and the lighting in the room and stay away from crazy colors.

A lot of people give up at that stage but if you track down the owners, you may be the first person to approach them because it takes additional work.

I see that money is grown in three stages:1.

When we arrived we peaked in the windows and you could see a bunch of ratty looking furniture (odd for staging I thought).

Depending on the stage of a pre-foreclosure your approach would need to be different.

1. office condo exchange to 2 separate properties (property could be different types) both our names on both properties2. office condo exchange to 2 separate properties one under my name and the other under his name.3. 1 of my property, 1 of his property, office condo exchange to one multifamily apartment - adjust by adding capital so we end up 50/50.4. 1 of my property, 1 of his property, office condo exchange to two multifamily apartment (one under his name and one under my name)I'm sure there a several minor details that needs to be worked out but we are just in the brainstorming stage.

Not every real estate deal is a good one, doing your research on the area you are investing in, understanding the economics of the area and knowing the stage of the cycle are all crucial to finding the right deal.
