@Thomas Farrell if you have any experience managing property/construction projects, I would look in to flipping properties and keeping the once that you see an acceptable cashflow on when finished.

@Diogo Candido Wow very cool you are doing the same type of project i am looking to go into!

Forcing appreciation on properties requiring work is a longer term goal but I’d like to start with a simpler project.  

There are plenty of entry roles from cold calling, scrubbing data and find deals for investors, leasing assistant, work on construction sites, office admin, project coordinator, Title assistant, RE photographer, transaction coordinator.. on and on.

I would not use our money for the next project.

If you are in the Seattle market the better, even better in the burien market, but all are absolutely welcome because no matter where the project is, a house is a house. looking forward to hearing from all of you!

The market does offer lower priced investment opportunities and higher cashflow returns, with ongoing revitalization projects like the DORA boosting appreciation potential.

In 2013, I decided to put much of what I had learned from books into action by purcha...

If you start a JV in name but do not give your partners proper control and decision-making rights and the deal goes bad you open yourself up to serious consequences which can lead to SEC violations with extremely high fines.Lastly, you can offer the project up to investors who have no voting or control.
