We rarely have issues, but it seems like such a small investment in time and money to take one day to verify. 

Mistakes I see people make is they plan on living there a short time and over renovate the property where they will never get the money they put into it back. 

We own our house in Seattle and are trying to determine the best strategy for our move - what approach would net us the most money over the next 1-3 years.

For example, my appliance store gives me a 10% discount, so I charge a 5% markup to my owners to make a little money and the owner still saves 5% from retail. 

In this post, I will explain the criteria and the information sources.Income requirements for financial independence:Rents increase faster than inflation: Inflation erodes the value of money over time, causing prices for goods and services to rise.

So you use hard money or cash, fix it, resell it...and try to resale fast. 

I would love to talk with a lender to get a better handle on the products that help investors BUT in my strategy, I am leaning toward NOT using hard money at first(if I can avoid it).

I see it as a complimentary strategy to pull some of your money back out and hedge your bet

I've already paid for an appraisal and the earnest money is recoverable.Thanks BP family! 

One never knows whether an area will gentrify but chatter on the street is money is flowing in the South Shore.
