I've read online the high end for attic cleanup should be ~$600 and sometimes see advertisements for $95, but most reviews I've read online say places aren't honoring those prices...For the 200 amp main panel upgrade, we received a quote that was between $5500-7500 depending on configuration, which is also crazy -- I've been reading the main panel upgrades should range from $1500 - $3500.

We eliminate any property type or configuration that did not rent well during the 2008 crash.

Demand is very high for units in the Everett area depending on the configuration you have. 

Watch the narrow/deep lots, not the best configuration for building homes.2.

Online review “Prolog is relatively easy to deploy, and the cost for a small company to implement the system would be in the range of $10,000 for three concurrent licenses and another $10,000-15,000 for implementation and basic configuration”Landlord Maxx - Aaron Saarela said, “We just started Landlord Maxx which was 199.00 one time fee.

Both are in essence retirement plans with the same tax-favored status as your current county plan (likely a 457b), but are configured to be able to allow for investments beyond the stock market such as real estate, private lending, etc.It sounds like you may have the necessary self-employment to qualify for a Solo 401(k), which is a nicer overall retirement plan and has higher contribution limits than an IRA would. 

Since the layout is similar of the other house, the most important thing would be that the lot configuration and desirability is as good or better.

They are configured as houses (3 buildings x 1 dwelling = 3 units) and duplexes (2 buildings x 2 dwellings = 4 units) and an 8-plex which is really 4 duplexes grouped together (4 buildings x 2 dwellings = 8 units). 

The venting configuration was easy as we had stripped the unit to the studs for electrical etc & the ceiling was open in most areas.

These are retirement plan configurations that are not limited to investments in Wall St and can be more diversely invested into assets such as real estate.There is much good information here on BP about these various plan formats and providers.Investing in real estate with such a plan is pretty basic:The plan purchases the property.All expenses are paid with plan funds.All income from the property goes back to the plan.It is really no different than investing in the stock market, other than the fact that the asset class is different.
