I also am an animal lover and understand the plight of people with dogs who can't find a place to live, especially in divorce or foreclosure situations.

I really want to surround myself with like-minded people who also love real estate, or are just about growing in general.

Many homes in the Seattle area are getting 50-60 offers and buyers are getting sweet-talked into paying $300k+ above asking price and waiving all contingencies after spending a 15 minute time window at the house, because all the slots to view the home get booked up and there isn't an opportunity to even do a pre-inspection even if the buyer wanted to. 

Thanks for the advice, I'm going to reach out to the county auditor for any permits.The vent is just a 14' x 6' inch slotted vent.

I'd charge ~$1000 a slot for Jan-May (8-10 people), then short term the rest of the time.I wouldn't self manage, so I get the point on unique, well designed, charming places being a priority.

My wife enjoys decorating the house for the seasons.She listens to me talk about commercial real estate investments and development and is interested but likes doing her own stuff.There are teams out there that both love real estate and other partners who find joy and currency in many other different things.I celebrate the differences as it is another unique angle in life to experience and enjoy.The big question is if your girlfriend is okay with having 3 tenants living next door to her?

would like to learn at the next available slot ... thanks in advance

Thats why I love real estate

I love real estate!)

Every showing is booked in groups with 10-15 min time slots, 2 per slot.
