Once you own here and a few years go buy, you'll feel incredibly blessed to have your own property both in terms of cash flow and appreciation.There is a saying of owning real estate here:  "It's the bay area retirement plan". 

you were blessed with a great investment enjoy it. 

TIA and God bless.

First and foremost, it's been a blessing connecting with so many individuals in this space.

Quote from @Jami Lynn:  If the seller is one of the "recognized" "minorities" (that's who've we always had problems with later) we insist they bring along a family member or best friend "to help celebrate" (be a witness) and we get them on video too of course.

God Bless, 

Looking forward to hearing from and connecting with you.....Make it a prosperous and blessed day! 

Take someone with you for safety and as a witness.

Open to any ideas.We live in Texas but all the rentals are in Washington state, if that matters. i did a 1079 on a kubota for 35k one year, cost me $300 a month- wit the 8k that pays 2 1/2 years of payments and use te 8k as a down instead of giving to the govt.doesnt work everytime but if you are continuing to buy and hold its completely doable.

I am a high income professional blessed with a schedule which allows for significant time off I'd rather spend with my family and hopefully investing rather than selling real estate for the commission (I'd rather work extra at my job).
