Investors can always benefit from working with someone who knows how to align opportunities with specific strategies.Are there particular types of properties or investment strategies you’ve seen gaining traction in the Seattle area lately?

I acknowledged his concerns but was unable to resolve the issue.Since the tenant moved in, I have experienced escalating issues with his behavior, including:Lease Violations:Moving items without permission (furniture, safe, carpet cleaner, TV from his room to another tenant's room).Accumulating boxes in the garage, potentially exceeding the agreed-upon storage space.Installing a security camera in the common living area, which is a direct violation of the lease agreement.Failure to submit a work order for alleged issues with the smart lock, as required by the lease agreement.Behavioral Issues:Aggressive and confrontational communication.Unfounded accusations and personal attacks.Refusal to communicate through agreed-upon channels.Loud and disruptive late-night behavior (banging on the door, kicking the door) due to alleged difficulties with the smart lock, often accompanied by profanity.Harassment of my son, the designated on-site property manager, by making disparaging remarks about me and refusing to cooperate with him.Potential for Neighborhood Disruption: The tenant's late-night outbursts have the potential to disturb neighbors, although no formal complaints have been received.Unreasonable Demands: The tenant unreasonably demands advance notice of my access to the property for storage purposes, despite the prior agreement and my right to access common areas and my own storage spaces.Safety Concerns:While the tenant has not directly threatened us, his actions, including the harassment of my son, have created a concerning and unsafe environment for my son and me.Goal:My ultimate goal at this point is to evict the tenant due to his ongoing lease violations, concerning behavior, the harassment of my son, and the potential for neighborhood disruption.Questions:1. 

Has anyone used bridge loans for this type of strategy or is there any other loans that anyone would recommend other than HELOC?

Awesome strategy!  

i'm expanding my buy and hold strategy now to get my foot wet on trying rehab, and would like to work with reliable wholesalers who can provide the source. 

That is the best case scenario, of course sometimes you get lied to and stalled, that's why it is important to always emply a double strategy and stay a step ahead.

It’s a mix of strategy, management, and a little bit of chaos, especially when dealing with unruly tenants or trying to balance your budget while upgrading properties.

It’s not about chaining yourself to a rigid model; it’s about giving yourself a reliable starting point, so when the next tempting deal in Phoenix’s midtown corridor pops up, you know it fits into your broader strategy rather than just hoping it’ll magically work out.At the end of the day, nobody’s going to knock on your door and hand you a neatly packaged portfolio.

Many investors get their license for access to MLS and/or to save money on real estate commissions when they buy & sell.It's a good strategy, but only if you are doing VOLUME!

@Peter W.From my experience, a second-home investment strategy works best when you meet lender conditions like owner occupancy and rental restrictions.
