I prefer the forum used for investors with actual questions.I am not a fan of what you call reverse trolling.I am not a fan of posts in the forum which have no questions and are basically blog posts.

I'd love to hear others' opinions on this but I am a fan of making the house as attractive as you can to a potential buyer, even if that adds cost. 

I’m a fan of harvesting the equity to buy more and more cash flowing properties with zero out of pocket cash for down payments.

To thrive in real estate investing, you must maintain a firm grip on your finances.

I would recommend starting in your backyard and hone your skills if its possible, I know some markets have an extreme HCOL which may make it unfavorable in your case.

Possibly in capital hill area.  

I'm a fan of using the HELOC to help purchase new property.

Over time, as you gain more experience and capital, you can consider expanding into multifamily properties once you've built up a solid foundation in real estate investing. 

If my crystal ball is correct, we are going to see a lot of these sub2 deals hit the fan in the next 36 months.
