I'd love to hear your stories and tips!

@Tim Ryan thanks for the tip!

Sometimes occupants still live there and eviction is not easy, and I have even heard a story once that the yakuza are involved in the construction and real estate business and exorted money from buyers through occupants in these properties. 

As someone who’s spent years building a real estate business from the ground up, I’ve seen both sides of the equation.

Also, if anyone has any experience in land purchasing I would appreciate any tips or websites on how to find the best deal or agent for the same.

THAT's the beautiful side of this business far to few ever see. 

In '23 the state set records for tourism revenues and visitors to the state, a hat tip to your point about year-round demand. 

I am starting my first househacking deal this year and I will Segway that into my second deal by end of 2025.
I would love to hear all you experts and pros with experience to tell your story. If you are in the Seattle...

My first piece of advice would be to always be networking with other wholesalers/investors both online and offline.

There is so much that goes in a business, rental rates, rental tax, inventory,  job costing, payroll, business analytic reports etc, QiuickBooks does handle what I have mentioned here.
