By the way, I am not anti-Realtor at all.

@Tanesha Mills  I my self am not on the ANTI paid training train like Most BP members.As I have paid multi thousands of dollars over my career for training.Although what I do not recommend is you pay for something you cannot afford.

You may want to up the anti in the beginning by offering a higher rate or even consider and equity split.

I saw this and got so excited that they finally suspended the anti-flip law.

Both have an anti-goverment redderic that is just not useful or constructive; basically unchanged since the 90s, no matter who was president.

Otherwise, you can get overly conservative and talk yourself out of an otherwise viable class-c investment.Personally,  I elect to treat is as the "anti-up" cost to enter the poker game and thus my ROI is an actual year/year result.

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.  

Get the ones which hold a grout line.Make sure you attach the anti-tip strap to the oven before the inspectionMake sure you have some cash available to pay for the contractor while waiting for the draw amount to be wired to your account.  

@Jeff Piscioniere  Prices have gone up, as they have in all vacation rental markets, as major metropolitan areas continue to impose anti-STR regulations.

Hey BP Nation - specially those based in Chicago:I am putting together a "Real Estate Investing Joint Venture School".It's my anti-dote to the guru "education".
