While I don't know anything about your market, I know the Pacific NW is very pricy.

As per tenant the wrong burner was turned on and a pan of grease left on stove caught on fire.

If there is a shower vs tub are you putting in a fiberglass pan or tile?

@Zac Newell Welcome and good for you for getting back into investing even if the first few didn't pan out the best.

I'm sure everyone knows how that panned out.

I moved here from Pacific Beach in San Diego to do this if anyone ever questions my resolve.

I am looking at a similar deal and wondering if yours panned out?  

The best pan handler I ever saw was not one of the sign guys though.At my old office a guy walked in decently dressed and asked to speak to the manager.

We actually found some local companies that were extremely competitive on their prices with furniture that is made here in the Pacific Northwest.

I knew that I could either: 1- Sit on the sidelines and wait until everything pans out or 2- Get started in a market, which would require low house prices. #1 is out of the question, as I know unless I do #2, when the time comes and the dust settles, I will not have the experience to realize, or be able to execute upon a great deal.
