still working on my three E's as well.EducationExperienceExcess CashI willing to bet that the deals will come to me when I have these.

I am loving this millennial couple.But the parents were previously contractors- so they had an eye, and so did the kid growing up around it.I handle everything myself- so it costs me zero to list it on Zillow when still working and updating the pictures as I progress.

The reason I mention the 'high income' in particular is simply because right now, I seem to be a pretty solid bet for most lenders whereas I'm not sure if my net-worth in stock will be sufficient to get a good mortgage rate since my 'income-to-debt' ratio will be dramatically different.I don't intend to try taking on a bad deal in the short-term just because of the whole mortgage-lendability-risk issue, but I'm trying to figure out how much of an issue it really even is in the first place and how much I should take it into consideration.If I don't have an active income, presumably (and please, correct me if I'm wrong here) I'd still have some potential to get mortgages, but they'd be at a higher rate (e.g. maybe a couple percentage points higher)?

I also thought SeaTac had a reputation as being "blue collarish" but it reportedly is right in the middle of Seattle and Tacoma offering great path to progress and easy commute to Seattle (via rapid transit)....Alaska Air's HQ is right next to property and there are massive expansion plans, which looks to be a plus...On the other hand, I cannot help wondereing how many potential tenants want to  next to an airline construction activity and a casino.

So I'm surprised by the minimalist bookkeeping.Thanks @Linda Weygant....I had the same thought about the IRS: I bet if they were audited they'd come up with some figures pretty quick!

Over the course of a year I would bet every note investor spends more than 24 hours on each NPN they have.
