Quote from @Victor Lin: Hey all, I have been living in Seattle for a little over 2.5 years now and I like to think I know the North Seattle area pretty well and would like to finally begin my REI journey here.I am looking to connect with other new or experienced investors in the Seattle area to mutually learn off each other and ultimately just gain more knowledge.

@Richard Kim wait, but start looking for a new PMC.If you can't find one, start planning to sell.If it goes away, no harm done, just some time spent.

But someone who wants to start buying or investing in large multi-family (60+ units) should be in a position where $20K isn't going to make much of a dent in their finances, regardless of whether it gets spent on a mentor or on closing costs. 

This is typically done 3x a year.Hire a company to deep clean the washing machine, drier, and dishwasher.Reimburse us for the combined 8 hours we have now spent on cleaning the home.Repaint the walls, at minimum in the basement.Prorate our rent for the days we are unable to be in the home due to the current issues and any repair time.Please let us know how you would like to proceed.Thank you,Sindy and Cary"You need a professional property manager!

I spent six months there last year alone and many months in the previous two years before that.

This is money well spent.

The first indication is you spent $290k for $1800 cash flow or a 0.62% monthly ratio.Rent $1800 - PITIH $1480 - $180 (pm) - $90 (vacancy at 5% which is lowest i ever allocate in my underwriting and likely low per the OP description of a lot of new development) = $50 for all other expenses.Maintenance/cap ex on 4/2, 2100’ will exceed $300/month even in cheap labor markets on sustaining basis.  

I had spent, I believe in total around $60,000.00 putting this flip in this guys backyard.

Increase time spent conversing with each lead that you get to learn more about how they view the property and implement reasonable changes accordingly.

I just extended my lease to a 2 year lease because of this success and fully believe that this airbnb will continue to do well.The newly onboarded airbnb:So the new airbnb had a little bit of a rough start, the laundry machine had to be replaced as it stopped working whilst I was testing things out in the home, I had a bit of a higher cost setting up the airbnb, (painted and filled in cracks that were previously present) but to be honest I spent around the same I would have spent if I had to fully furnish the home.
