I'd also love to hear about your journey in real estate and how you got started.To be clear, I’m not seeking funding, employment, or any commitments from you.

I'm in a similar situation and am seeking an AFH operator to rent a home in Lynnwood. 

Now, I'm seeking to scale up and build my portfolio by investing in multi-family properties.

If not in the city, and not in the ETJ, then it's a lot easier, provided you can get water (probably need to drill water wells so thats a separate ground water district) and sanitation (some sort of onsite sewage treatment).

Now, I am wondering about seeking a better option.

And I had stopped working on those about a year ago when I made the transition over to Full View.I/we have no mortgages, no car loans, no student loans, and a credit card we pay off monthly.I'm just looking to figure out how big of an issue it is that I am not keeping a monthly personal financial statement should I seek a loan?

Some have very little involvement in the actual operations of the properties, so if you are seeking asset management help, I would be sure to ask what the mentor's level of expertise is in that area.Who would I actually be working with?  

Also, curious about what this would mean for future portfolio expansion (e.g. using her name or mine when seeking out financing).

Unlike the frenzied buying behavior during the pandemic, today’s buyers are more selective and are seeking properties that offer true value.This shift has led to increased demand for move-in-ready homes and properties that are in excellent condition.

Once you have all of these processes being handled by a PM, you can finally afford the one item all investors seek when managing a property that you simply cannot put a price on: peace of mind.
