So when I see an advertisement like this I feel like it would be a waste of my time and money, but perhaps interesting for others. 

This is not just to make sure that no one is ever feeling like they are getting cheated.

Everyone will tell you it’s great to get started early, or you can just move after a year, but in the current environment in our region the rent your property will generate after you move out will likely be less than your mortgage, if you are tied to the area and feel confident you want to stay in whatever property you buy for 3-5 years go for it, if you want flexibility rent and throw that money into and index fund. 

I specifically want to call out one of their Senior Accounts Associate, Charlotte Cunningham, who helped me through the process on my first purchase as I needed to buy a sizable amount of furniture quickly and she was able to help me make moves quickly...and didn't make me feel bad whatsoever when I pulled back a few items at the last minute I was able to find them cheaper elsewhere.

Feel free to PM!

Since Covid this is just the way of the world with STR/MTRs, it can require more cleaning and cause damage but if you want to complete it is a necessity. 

Trying to run a successful PMC is difficult but trying to run multiple companies - VR, Annual, cleaning, and landscaping is probably going to give you an aneurism.

Feel free to reach out if you have any advice for a newcomer or if you're also investing in the Kirkland area!

This is a "me" assumption: I assuming that I made a mistake somewhere in my analysis, so please feel free to show me. :) I learn a lot more from my mistakes than what I (very occasionally) get right on the first pass.

Hope all of that makes sense but feel free to post with anything else.
