The one place that still imo offers a good combo of being nice, being affordable and having a little upside left imo is the eastern shore of Md, I just bought a flip down there (though it’s pretty hard if not impossible to find great value add even there) but it’s affordable, growing (a lot of people coming from dc, New York, Philly area.) but still not really a big enough market that any major operators are out there yet. 

Being one of the most powerful lobby groups in DC is expensive and I doubt the NAR can compete any longer with the massive budgets of tech and financial sectors.

I was thinking it may be closer to a "wash" or, maybe only slightly more only bc w/ a duplex at least we aren't paying for two exterior wall materials for two sfh?

SFH in Tacoma WA, gas utility quoted free to bring a gas pipe from the street to the house and a meter.

Does anyone know what’s the average cost for cosmetic/ full gut rehab in Seattle Washington per sqft.

I moved on to Washington DC where rent prices are better and the numbers added up.

I’m wondering if RE investing alone could be the business that pays the debts…but then maybe I’d be exposed to WA business taxes…I’ll have to look into that.Interesting to hear that DSCR loans have lower rates than conventional right now.

If I could lend on O/O in WA, I'd put myself on the roster, but I cannot.
