All depends on what your goals are and what market fits your game-plan/criteria 

Others noted that the appreciation play could make it worth keeping, I tend to look more heavily on appreciation since real estate investing is more of a long term game.

I already have land holdings near Everett that will certify out at 304 salable density bonus credits.To play this game, I get certified and then "clip off" the transferable development rights for sale to urban developers in the county, who can cash them in for an increase in dwelling unit density from an original 22 units/acre to 58 units, and building heights from 45' to 75'.

So, I'd like to get ahead of the game and start working up a plan and a strong argument for it which I can use when the time comes. 

Yes, the more units you go up, generally the less players in the game so there is some advantage in purchase competition as you go up, but also more management scale and cap ex for someone who is new.3.

I was trying to get started, had all the information but needed to pull the trigger to get in the game. 

Just keep in mind that entertainment expenses—like taking clients out for a show or a game—aren’t deductible anymore.And, yes, you can deduct 100% of your education expenses if you’re already a real estate investor.

Negotiating felt like a game of chess—except I was playing against a grandmaster, and my queen was missing.

The truth is, they will keep playing games and milk you for every penny they can, then they will leave the house a mess and cost more with cleaning, repairs, and vacancy.

My end game is to show you a path to financial independence, whether that be at 45 yrs old or 70 yr old.
