In one of our development projects, the City staff asked us to remove 40 units from our concept plan.This wasn’t requested by the City Commission at a formal hearing, it was the opinion of the staff.Our original concept already proposed fewer units than the current zoning would have allowed.Here’s what erasing 40 units means:- 40 fewer homes for buyers- Over $1M in lost profit for our team- Fewer tax dollars and impact fees that could’ve benefited the City’s infrastructure & servicesWe gotta get betterEveryone wants more affordable housing, but not everyone wants to do what it takes to achieve it

Have you heard the expression "when visiting someone, don't stay longer than 3 days or you begin smelling like dead fish".  

In the mean time, if I have a property I am seriously considering, can I direct message you the address and get your opinion?

In the professional opinions and experiences of the investor community, what place in WA state would you invest in a Long term rental?
