KS statements are more a declaration of an observation than a projection of the nefarious plans of a cabal.   

The hardest part from what I hear is getting an already licensed inspector to mentor you because I believe you have to observe/assist in 100 inspections before you can go out on your own among other license requirements.

As you've already observed, you're currently priced out of the Seattle market, which leads to...Learn to invest in other markets.  

There are problems with this approach as I was observing a neighbor absentee landlord handling his tenants.

Sorry, that's just my observation over the past 12 or so years.

One point of observation is that all of the selling videos I watched that made me want to purchase the system made it seem that I either didn't have to have any money or that if I purchased the system I would have access to money. 

Also, property prices can't go to the sky because of affordability so the capital appreciation potential of the most expensive US markets might have been reached for some time, especially in our new world of high interest rates.I agree with you, your observation about Airdna's comparisons being somewhat of a misnomer has been my experience in south america too.

Mathematically speaking this is completely incorrect- and a rather humorous observation was made by Joe.

:)PS. for casual observers: this is just some teasing between two close friends, don't overreact. 

Not to worried about having a property manager and having less cash flow because from what I've observed from podcast and other investors is once the ball gets rolling it is a lot easier to keep going.
