The process of going through zoning and city approval is enough in itself to drive you mad, I feel like their goal is anti-developer so it'll be an uphill battle, especially for a city that is very urban and sustainability conscious like Seattle.I'm not familiar with the Seattle market but there's a development/design build firm out there I really like: dwell development.

Buffalo has traditionally suffered from several problems pertaining to housing, specifically, an overall population decline in the city proper; one of the oldest housing stocks in the country; and a general apathy in terms of the local government and community groups.In 2007 and 2008, I was working on several anti-fraud task forces dealing with these problems.

We are the anti-REIA (meaning we don't sell or let people sell programs and boot camps).

Also hits 2.2% gross cash flow, which is the first time I've seen 2% plus on something over $50k around here.Happy to update with missing details, please do not flame with anti-POH rhetoric, etc.
