King county is not a cheap place to operate.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, consider consulting a local property manager who can help you plan for the deferred maintenance and set up rental operations smoothly.

I was trying to find who can help me out I was thinking about an architect that’s a good idea most of them only seem to do big projects compared to mine but I will look into that Facebook group as well appreciate it! 

Can anyone point me to a step-by-step guide for end buyers working with wholesalers? There are a few things I'm specifically interested --- Do wholesalers actually enter into a PSA? Or is it a trimmed down agreement (...

Although its mainland presence is dwindling, the chain will continue to operate in the U.S.

Since you're not pursuing a real estate license, consider wholesaling to gain deal experience or help manage local properties to learn the day-to-day operations.

My partner and I both have 9-5 jobs with mine requiring work travel, so it has been a challenge attending local meet-ups regularly; which is why I am so glad this platform exists to help us network! 

It works like this:(1) Save up enough money for a down payment(2) Buy a single family home that you will Airbnb/VRBO(3) Ensure the “average period of customer use” is <=7 days(4) Materially participate (5) Cost segregate the property, resulting in large depreciation deductions(6) Use the losses from step 5 to offset your W2 incomeWhat makes this possible is that operating an STR is considered “non-passive.”

Other operators prefer MTR.

@Raymond C WestIf you can't afford to pay a professional to set it up are you really going to operate it appropriately?
