TLDR: I'm buying out my house from my ex-boyfriend in Seattle (King County), Washington and I'm struggling to find what the REET if I'm buying my ex's stake in the house.

These areas still have a great rental demand and not overbuilt.Areas like Northern Liberties, fishtown, point breeze have a lot of options, but also a lot of struggling landlords as there is a great number of new construction high rises creating a lot of supply in the nearby market.

I immediately struggled with QB and found it annoying that I constantly had to tag all the transactions for the bookkeeper AND pay her to manage it all.

Quote from @Brian Dolbeare: Hi all, I’m relatively new to real estate investing and I’m struggling with determining accurate market rents in larger markets, like Pittsburgh.

I can see through DOM the contrast between those struggles and the lease ups of the better located single families in the area.I cant say with certainty this applies across the entire city but what’s known is the fact people are getting married and starting families later in life than in the past, young people have more debt than ever before thanks to student loans, the cost of buying ahome has never been higher & most  families decide to move to the suburbs when they have school aged children.

This will probably be unpopular but you should save for a few more years even if you save enough for your down payment, if you are exhausting all your savings, you will struggle with any unexpected repairs.

It's 90% complete but we're struggling to cross the finish line!!
