Located about 5 minutes from a nice elementary school in our district and literally 2 minutes from the highway.

I've been watching pretty much every 2+ bed home coming on the market for over a year just south of Fairwood (partially in Renton, partially in Kent), in the Lake Young's elementary school area.

I have come up with a list of skills that I feel would be a great help to the renovation process:3D Modeling/Building Measurements-With a 3D model you can get accurate floor plans, elevations and 3D views of the buildingTest Fit Layouts-Once the 3D model is built, multiple layouts can be created and analyzed-Potential problems can be solved before they are builtMaterial Calculation/Cost-When the design is finalized, square footages and materials can be calculated based off of the modelVisualization Renderings-You get imagery of the building/spaces before construction moves forward-There is a reference during construction Construction Documentation-Specific details can be drawn and dimensioned Staging-A house with furniture better shows the potential of the space Architectural Photography-People want nice pictures that actually show the space and they want a lot of themI would appreciate your feedback on this. 

John Knisely,It’s close to bywood elementary school and bywood trolley station.

@Joshua Feit Great job getting to this stage in your investing career!

Does anyone know how to find a complete list of filed evictions (all stages) in the public record database?

Real accounting software such as QuickBooks is probably an overkill at this stage.

The same street I caught the school bus every day for elementary through high school.So...

Keep in mind even if close to that, typically you'll need to front the rehab in stages, have it inspected, then be reimbursed from the lender (draw schedule). 

So question is more what stage are you reading these stories.IF You have no properties, I wouldn't advise going from zero to ten.
