Trying to match the color that is already on the wall is just about impossible, even with left over paint from the initial painting.

Quote from @Laura Stayton: It's impossible to answer this question with the information you provided...How so? 

And not knowing their numbers also makes it next to impossible to know if you have a bad PM that's eating into your cash flow as well (Like Vacasa charging $800-1000 a month for elecrtic on a 4/3, 2000sqft house with a pool). 

In my experience, finding cash-flowing deals on-market can be challenging here (1% rule can be hard to find) but not impossible.

Hello Mike, It is nearly impossible to answer this question without taking a deep dive on the numbers of each but often times in expensive markets like Seattle the cost of construction is so high that it doesn't make sense to tear it down unless you can build something way bigger/nicer.

So, your property must be secured with deterrents to hopefully stop this from happening - but, it's impossible to guarantee security.

By law, the most recent purchase price is the default value and it is impossible to overcome unless the property was destroyed after the recent purchase.

I'd love to be able to start that way, but it's impossible in my location.Try to run the numbers and see if it makes sense for you, but for most real estate investors, I believe house hacking is the most intelligent/reasonable place to start. 

turnkey section 8 is not going to be like buying a brand new home there will always be differed items or stuff that does not work etc.. age of homes makes this impossible. then you add section 8 tenants and  there you go

The problem is these bigger markets are almost impossible to cash flow and to make them cash flow; I would need to have very favorable seller financing terms or a lot more money.
