I usually pick up a $100 fan/light combo (modern looking of course) from Home Depot or you find deals online

It still has a ways to go and prices have picked up but I don't see how Seattle workers can ignore the value especially where Seattle and king county taxes are going and the mess that is the Seattle city clownsule

Hoping they pick the shade cover as it will be both an improvement to the property and a write off.

Very very few (like .000001%) will ever accurately pick a top or bottom in the market.

Oh, and someone else picked it up instead of you because they accepted the no inspection contingency!

HELOAN would only be about 14% of the equity so little risk even on a down market.I am picking 10 years as it is the point where it will allow me to cash flow monthly and it keeps the rates low enough.

Might I mention, I am not on a lease at this point either.I'd say talk to a tenants rights lawyer or group, but it seems you are not a tenant there.So uh, pick up the pieces and move on?

Offer to sit open houses for agents with several listings and try to pick up buyer leads.

There will always be one deal or another around the corner but just like picking the right woman for a man or visa versa you have to become the right person for them as well.

Whatever route you pick, go slowly at first.
