It is sad because when I first moved to the Northwest, Seattle was one of the cleanest big cities I ever encountered.I'm personally done with blue states. 

Meetups and Facebook groups are good spaces to accomplish that.By reading the replies already posted here, you are already gaining a lot of knwoledge from experienced people like Jerryll, who explained another side of motivated sellers that I ever thought about.

If you ever have any questions feel free to reach out and ask I have over 18+ years in the REI world.

Anyway, if you're ever curious about exploring opportunites in Phoenix or Austin, I'd love to chat.

This will allow for you to cleanly pursue an eviction if ever needed.

I'm looking into some duplexes in Cleveland as my first ever property.

Let me know if you ever want to meet to talk real estate and cars.

I always have my floor "climatized" for each job for at least 2 days before I ever install it.

Let me know if you ever want to chat!
