Personally, If I could pull out a HELOC, I would use it to fix and flip which will typically make sense as you shouldnt be keeping the money out for that long and you can recycle it or pay it back and build off the capital that you got from. the flip.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Would love feedback from anyone with personal investing and/or property management experience in these cities.

Keep it short and respectful of their time, and offer to meet in person if they’re open to it.Join Tacoma-specific Facebook groups.

I warn people over and over and over to know what they are buying and to go personally see what they are buying. 

Perhaps there is a relevant book or podcast that you could suggest to expand my knowledge in this area.Considering you're experience with creative finance deals, which you mentioned previously, I am keen to hear about your personal insights and experiences.

Unfortunately, this problem waste a lot of my time that could be spent on other investments.I have used the same tax professional for many years and he is very educated, but also much older than me and it's hard for me to understand all the reasons he has expressed why is better to put the rental on my personal tax returns.

The pro development and affordable housing advocates use the term NIMBY, but I suspect it is the rare person that buys in a single family zoned area that would be thrilled to have 17 units (qp16 additional units added) in the lot next to them.My initial protege was the land source on this effort.  

Feel free to ask anything, anytime.Cheers!
