I feel that stricter screening on applicants means better quality tenants and I've been fortunate to have tenants who continue to renew their leases year after year with little to no headaches in between. 

I am specifically interested in single and multi-families in Yakima, WA, and possibly some live-in flip type deals in the greater Seattle area.I am fortunate enough to love my day job, but see it as a great vehicle for building a real estate portfolio that allows my wife and I the joys and freedoms of financial independence.

I make a fortune in DetroitMany people lose more than the shirt off their back!

The entire country has seen a real estate boom over the last several years and I have also been fortunate enough to have purchased 10 properties when homes were affordable.

Unfortunately or fortunately, no one can answer that question for you but you. 

How fortunate for you.  

Fortunately, things continue to move, and it may end up being 4th or 5th.  

Some of them regulate lenders, some of them regulate borrowers.Even that madness has a method, fortunately.

I hope to retire in 10 – 12 years with a 20 house portfolio, we have purchase five SFH over the last several years and fortunately my son lives in Richmond and is managing the properties.

Fortunately with an attorney state you have many way to get out of the deal once its been accepted.
