The Pacific Northwest has a lot of rent control areas, but it has mild pleasant weather and pleasant people. 

Looking to get in to multi family real estate investing in the Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia Area after BRRRR A duplex or 4-plex. Any thoughts and advice on the PNW multi-family market?

And I keep thinking of the thriller "Pacific Heights" and no landlord wants a situation to devolve in that way.

The few that don't get rooted out PDQ.Imagine how much your costs would go down and how much savings you could pass on to your customer without all the ridiculous fees and permits in the Pacific Northwest.I just watched "Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles" episode where a guy bought a lot on a bluff overlooking the ocean (far above the sea) to build a house for his kids to grow up in. 15 years later he was selling it never having moved in.

It has since undergone ridiculous gentrification, and is now (according to that map) more expensive than Pacific Palisades - which will never cease to dumbfound me.Like all major cities, the role of crime, gangs, drugs, etc., can have a depressive effect on your rental/house values.  

I tried getting a resolution from their support and told them I would need these properties to come up to be able to really test drive their platforms and both support teams said, "sorry, it doesn't work" and cancelled my trial accounts.Funnily enough, when I put in the zip code in Flipster and clicked on the MLS filter, the map went to the middle of the Pacific Ocean!!!

@April Dagonese I think the wildcard here is a claim of disability on the tenant's behalf - and substance addiction is to the best of my knowledge is considered a disability.Here's a link to Colorado's Fair Housing laws: https://colorado.gov/pacific/d...

This one tenant whom was my second ever tenant just happens to be a fledgling "Michael Keaton" deadbeat character from in  the movie "Pacific heights!"

You should rent "Pacific Heights". 

They are not a protected class.Here are your protected classes per federal law:The FHA, to date, includes seven protected classes: race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, and familial status.http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/the-fair-ho...Colorado's list of protected classes is:Protected classes in housing include: Race, Color, Religion, Creed, National Origin/Ancestry, Sex, Disability/Handicap, Sexual Orientation (including Transgender Status), Marital Status, and Familial Status (children under the age of 18 in the household).https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/dora/civil-rights...
