If you can pull the trigger on 85% ARV's than my hats off to you though those deals seem thin for my taste with hardly room for margin of error.

@Shekeira Ward Putting my attorney hat on (member of the Massachusetts bar), I interpret "initial investment" as meaning purchase price since "in purchasing the property" immediately follows.   

In past projects, we have hired a GC but given my husband’s commercial construction & engineering background, this time we will General ourself.On this next project, we will be the landowner, investor, developer, and GC (yes wearing many hats).My question is regarding the level of insurance required: 1) For the GC license, the state (of Washington) requires General liability insurance and bonding.

I second the advice hat you should join a few real estate clubs and/or Real Estate Meet Up groups in the area you are  interested in living in.  

That all takes in over 1,400 units wearing different hats, not one law suit in over 40 years.

The nicest areas in PDX(condos in NW PDX) are capping at 4 if you can believe that.Obviously the price difference between a cap of 6 and 8 is huge.The only thing that makes sense from number standpoint is a brand new duplex where you know hat you will probably get in rent and you know taxes and insurance, and there shouldn't be much maintenance or capex since the units are new.

Hi Doug, great hat!
