I have invested in real estate casually in the last several years, and am looking to step up my game by learning from those willing to help, and succeeding with real estate. 

Then they repeat that caveat several times throughout the course.  

Either way, there are several people who make this work all the time.

BTW, I've been trying to post this for several days (ever since the article in WaPo came out).

I found this out after several victims skipped traced me and called me at my real phone number.A search of the scammer’s phone number indicated it was used on other fake websites to falsely represent other legit lenders, as well.

I have done several multiple property 1031 exchanges throughout the state for my clients who are looking to scale and improve their investment portfolio. 

Several types of investments.    

If no loss protection and likely relo again, I would rent in Seattle and buy several investment properties. 

Buying OOS just adds several layers of risk for most people and most places. 

What several of these landlords have now done is instead of having a pet deposit, which you cant do with service animals, is that they just incorporate it into the normal deposit.
