Specifically, Shoreline/Edmonds/Mill Creek has caught my eye as I feel Seattle proper is far too expensive and overpriced.  

I think that just looking at that in general will open your eyes to what the reality of your purchasing position is.2) Within the areas where those properties pop up, determine what units/locations will attract tenants that you would like to rent to.

I'd just like to throw it out there that, while I don't have a lot of knowledge in the real estate sector, I do have a nice camera and a decent eye for photography.

Some people have a natural eye for color-for those who don't (90-minute In-Home Color consults range from $95-$350) it can cost you big on the back end by having to repaint if the combo you chose comes off "murky" because your white trim had the wrong base or a popular golden-mustard turns "dirty-diaper" in your lighting.

I love studying successful people, and this may be funny but is it weird that sometimes when I'm in my room reading/learning something new, that I get emotional(tears in my eyes)?

But I'm not going to work with an agent unless they have more than just dollar signs flashing in their eyes.

Appraisers are normally the eyes and ears of lenders.

We were thinking UM or the med/dental/eye students might be a better area.

I don't have a great personal broker, but I'll definitely keep my eye out on this post to see some other people's recommendations.

Over all, great eye opening training, not sure if was with the $500 split per person.
