It's "The Instagram of Podcast".

If you want to create a unit to Airbnb build an extra master suite with separate access but do not put in a kitchen or go the ADU permitting route with it. 

However, I am confident that I would be able to successfully generate buyer and seller leads at scale using Google/Facebook/Instagram ads, so I am tempted.I've also thought about using my marketing experience to get leads for distressed properties and then wholesale them, but again I'm a newbie when it comes to investing in real estate, so I don't even know if that's practical in my area (Seattle).Are there any other paths I could take that comes to mind?

Corner cutting is fine, until it kicks back suits, liens etc. on you or property; then it seems not so good to skip a little preventative maint step. 

On some of the properties under status, it will say Suit Filed.

Previous sales history - In June 2008 my house sold for $1,425,000 (with an unfinished carriage house, small 90's kitchen that didn't fit the house style at all, and no master suite. 

Perhaps the area really suits their needs and wants.

You should concentrate in your area,  Brandon Turner says.............................Yes, I am too cheap.No ( ---- puts on his bragging suit ---- ) my daughter knows very little about RE, she's a PhD graduate in some nerosciency stuff that's way over my head.

However I would think it is not unreasonable to charge higher if your property is well suited to the use and your rent still remains competitive with other properties in that zone.

I'm a software developer looking to develop a suite of solutions for landlords with a smaller portfolio.
