Also, my brokerage has a handful of investor clients that actively run MTRs and STRs in the area. 

There will be stuff like this that activates your "spidey sense". 

This doesn't necessarily mean just an investor, but somebody who active works in the space and puts in at least 700 hours of work into it per year. 

Here's more context.Hi Zen,Right now we're focused on Los Angeles for our PM services but we are actively exploring new markets so I'm happy to chat.

There are likely active real estate investing groups for Tacoma and the surrounding area.

However, my under writing due to the recent rate hikes shows large cash negative after a high LTV refi to extract the equity so I am not currently actively pursuing BRRRRS and I find this is true for many of the local investors that were doing brrrrs a few years ago.  

Income from leveraged real estate or active business income.

If you have no desire to actively pursue other investments where you make more than a 2.8% return, then by all means pay it off faster.TYFYS and best of luck!

Say's it whatever active REI model.

Are you still active?
