(this is a MUST) In any market - as long as they agree with the underwriting and have confidence in your leadership.

I look forward to newer, fresher, more progressive ideas from the incoming leadership, Governor-Elect Gavin Newsom!!!

So hear are some quotes about leadership and success, to inspire you and all those that happen upon this thread...good fortune to all of you!

I just assume put a bullet in my head than have ANYTHING to do with the current GOP leadership....and I'm a registered republican..... but rather than get into a political discuss on a RE site, we'll just leave it at that and move on....Like many issues that real focus has to be on working to solve the "WHY".... not the symptom of the issue itself.

I also read a management/leadership book a month on average so they all run together / repeat a lot of the same stuff. 

Unfortunately the COVID situation is the excuse that some members of Seattle leadership needed to try out housing policies they have been wanting long before the emergency declaration - no late fees on rent,  no evictions for any reason,  housing payments basically optional,  landlords unable to enforce any rental agreement terms.They aren't done yet either - another ordinance is already in the works preventing us from using eviction history in screening potential applicants also supposedly temporary for 6 months after the emergency orders end,   and it also extends the prohibition on any late fees for a year.I hate to say it but I have before and I will again - do not invest new money in rental properties in Seattle without pricing in all these additional risks.   

Whether it be REI, Personal development, leadership, mindset, etc. - what book has impacted you in a major way and why?

That starts with leadership at that company you select to protect your investment.

My favorite term is servant-leadership - and I try to follow it and be like my favorite teacher... who lived a little more that 2000 years ago :)Going forward, I'm interested in multifamily and business syndications, mobile home parks, funds, notes, tax liens, and if it is a really good deal I'll pick up a buy and hold rental property.
