In the long run, you'll be further ahead, but in the short term you will be putting in a lot of money and not getting anything back.Giving them 1 year's notice that rents will increase and letting them know they can move out at anytime with 30 day's notice will give them time to find a new place.I'm also assuming you aren't in an area where there are caps on rent increases.

Hell Looking to understand and get advice if there are still accessible opportunities to grow wealth through real estate in the Seattle area (Seattle, Bellevue, Issaquah or beyond).Objectives: - De-risk income/wealth from my full time job - Grow wealth (property appreciation) - More cash flow (if possible)- Have somewhere to stay (myself and family) when I visit (why something like STR/corporate rental would be great - can have a spare few weeks here and there)I have a couple properties in the Seattle/Bellevue area.

For monthly rent payment, do you usually have it due by the first day of each month or pay in advance like one week ahead of time?

We visited the area and the builds are top notch.

If you 100% know that you'll be in SC within the next year, go ahead and file now.

I'm very torn between investing somewhere for the most cash flow vs investing somewhere I would enjoy visiting. 

Visiting a rental property at least once a year is preferred; if not having a property manager you’ve fully vetted visit the property, report on condition, take photos.  

Selling and buying another property may work, but the cost of doing that may or may not put you further ahead. 

The math works out online and tenants already live in these buildings so I know they are liveable; that said, I have not visited the homes or made contact with the sellers.
