I bet my shady self-encumbrance gets bounced, but that's ok. 

Your best bet is to buy a rowhouse, or condo if you can't afford a rowhouse, in an attractive part of the district and rent it out by the room.

While in 5 years I have built up a passive income stream from over 30 doors now while maintaining the W2 income as "reserves" and allowing me to take bets that I won't feel comfortable with if I were doing this full time.

Researching pockets with lower DOM may be your best bet since 30349 encompasses various swings in median income/avg home prices.

We’ve combed through the central wa markets too and Tri Cities is probably your best bet!

CNBS just released their ranking for HQ2....https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/16/as-amazon-narrows-...Based on this research... investing in any B+ cities will be safe bet... 

Your best bet may be to find a well versed HOA attorney and split the cost with a few other owners.

I guess my best bet will be to ask the water company if they can dig up records from a time when the property was occupied.

They are usually NG and propane compatible and I'm speculating that a lot of the maintenance/longevity issues can be sorted out by doing a proper installation with water filters to cut down on heat exchanger scaling, which seems to be on of the biggest complaints.So I'm betting on the newer, more efficient technology but I also see the draw towards sticking proven oil boilers.

You have a TON of people giving super confident advice on Wholesaling while they have NEVER wholesaled before.People giving advice on SEO when they have NO clue what seo realllly is.Asking about the legalities of wholesaling here, where 80% of the people here hate wholesalers and think they are the devil incarnate I can bet no matter what answer you gt it will be completely useless to you because ultimately you will have to verify what ever you get with an attorney.Sorry this may not be helpful, but this reply could have saved you a ton of legal issues.Find a lawyer .. and ask "it" (because we all know lawyers are not human)
