The investors that i work with look to theses growing markets of population and jobs to make an investment that both cash flows and will find appreciation.  

Nice job on this property!

Quote from @Pranav Patel: Hello,I'm 22 years old with roughly $50k saved up through part time jobs and internships.

That can be a draw back if the market is on a mad run up tho.Also, I would always have enough in a heloc to cover your 401k loan in the event of job loss or if you quit your job. 

It would be a different story if I were endorsing a business that was not doing a good job.  

One way to save some money, especially if you are local is to split the job. 

If this job popped up out of the blue, your intent was not to move within the 1st year, so you may be ok.If you are planning on building a portfolio of homes, it is safest to stick in your home for 12 months to reduce the appearance of potential fraud. 

Nice Job! 

Seeing that you are moving for job reasons, I would probably suggest option 4 until you learn if Seattle is going to be a permanent answer.

(So therefore we wouldn’t have to pass on the cost of the repair to him ie. the tenant).Now, several months later, I contacted the contractor to ask if he would be to provide a price estimate for a different job at our house.
