Be flexible and keep an eye out for opportunities, as they often come when you least expect them.

Obviously, this is just my own analysis but the new administration anticipation is the flavor of the year.I'm still yet to be fully sold that we're healthy as a country and that 100% of what we're being told will happen-- I'm betting less than 50%.

I bet the rate of Engineers going homeless is all but 0. 

@Jake Andronico A reverse 1031 exchange allows you to buy a replacement property before selling your relinquished property, offering flexibility in competitive markets and deferring capital gains taxes.

However, if they are still considered a short-term guest under lodging rules, you may have more flexibility, though the specifics can depend on local regulations in Seattle.Since this can become a legal gray area, I recommend documenting all agreements, payments, and communication with the guest.

Best Buy also seems like a strong bet, but they only sell single-game machines.

It's hard to beat the flexibility of Podio, although it does require some time & effort to set it up. 

If you have a lease with this tenant that allows them the dogs, you can still say they are in violation of the lease, I'll bet, by something in the lease that says they aren't to bother the neighbors or cause any disturbances, etc.

With training, it's great.Time spent varies from Client to Client, but I'd bet they probably spend ~30min answering our questions and clarifying transactions to close out the year.

Otherwise, rent-by-room is probably your best bet.
