I also have a friend who recently launched a platform specializing in reducing the administrative burden of tax appeals (link below and happy to connect you to them), which tends to increase the success rate.

My husband and I just sold our rental in WA state so I have some funds to invest - would love to chat with you to see if we could both benefit from a partnership! 

I manage property in Washington DC and nearly all of our tenants are Section8.

I'm a certified Salesforce administrator - feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

Depends on how extensive the remodel work is, a cosmetic flip paint, trim, cabinets, vanities don't trigger permits here in WA state. 

But personally in my state of WA, I can lend in 2nd position on a rental at very low CLTV and put a 1st on a new acquisition at a low LTV and I would take that loan all day, every day over a 1st position on an acquisition at 85% LTC.

I have a STR in Washington state with an inground pool at it is 100% worth the cost and upkeep to have a swimming pool.

I use Complete Cashflow Services in Washington state.

I sold my home in WA thinking we could somehow get into the market in this area.  

Speaking for myself I would never consider a Sub2 unless I knew I had alternative exit strategies to take out that underlying mortgage either by private money, conventional, or other routes.What is the significance of the " default judgement states," versus what we have here in WA, OR, CA ?
