Actual experience I'll listen to.

I have sold a couple of businesses as well, and speaking from experience, you are never more vulnerable to make a mistake than when you are sitting on a giant pile of cash.Also, I agree with @Corey Conklin - I'm a big fan of "overflow cities/towns" in the sun belt.

Thanks for the transparency in your experience investing in the D class area especially as an OOS investor.

how much experience do you have?  

You need to work with a property manager that has experience with this, unless you plan on doing it yourself.

@Blair Ross Jr depends on how much experience you have with investing in rental properties.

Also, long term, I expect Sac will enact tougher restrictions on STR, given the intense housing crunch we're experience, so I personally don't expect that to a be a good long term strategy.

Search for Tacoma-based members on BiggerPockets and filter by those with wholesaling experience.

Just curious what your background and experience is in this field.

Just thought I'd check here too to see if anyone had any direct experience with them.
