Quite a few meet ups here in Washington  are far from me .

I am planning to invest around $100,000 into my first Buy & Hold house within the next few weeks, ideally a 3-bedroom with at least 1,000 square feet.

Hello BP community,I am potentially going to be doing an eviction in Buckley, WA.

So I decided to make my own spin on Brandon Turner's Four Square Method of Analyzing Rental Properties by incorporating it into a "FILL IN THE BLANK" template.   

WA state no longer allows searching the courts history online.

Quote from @Britt Washington: Hi @Robert Ellis- I think my broker, Alvin Taveras would be a great resource for you here.

It's a good thing I'll be able to adjust rents up however, because operating expenses have gone way up also thanks to steeply increasing property taxes, insurance, utilities, lawn care, snow removal, appliances, hiring anyone to do anything, materials, price per square foot to remodel, etc. all goods and services have gone way up.  

Furthermore, the property sits on a nearly 6,000-square-foot lot.

@Judy P.American home shield is by far the worst, I had it before and was told by the technician it's their lowest priority and they only do bandaid fixes if possible.I recommend fidelity home warranty, they are the best, I have them for all my rentals in Washington, for some reason they always replace my appliances when I make a service call.

Can adding a bedroom and bathroom without increasing the square footage of the home still increase its value?
