Some people would be shocked at the amount I paid but to me it was worth it because he knew things I didn’t and I got results significantly quicker than relying on just myself.

I was in shock and awe.

This will help determine what areas to focus on.At your price point you’ll see a lot of multi-family properties selling in Columbia Heights/Mount Pleasant between 2-3 units in the $1.0-1.5 million range.

You finish the project out in 12 to 18 months and the tax assessment is orginally low because dirt value only, then building 50% occupied, then 90 to 100% occupied (hopefully) but then gets fully reassessed.The reassessment pushes your base rent plus CAM super high and shocks your mom and pop to local tenants.

Not a pleasant experience but actually going through it gave me confidence to scale up the investments because I have seen what is most likely the worst case scenario already.

I am shocked.

I took a cursory glance at the houses for sale here and after Seattle was almost shocked to find a large number of houses still on the market, some for under $20K (need work, but in Seattle you could get a cup of coffee for that price. just kidding...)

You may be pleasantly surprised and you may just sell it now take your loss and move.

The poor reputation was earned by many turnkey providers for the whole niche and whether the reputation was good or not, caution should always be used.Man, I think you are shockingly transparent sharing those kinds of numbers here.  

They want people to have a pleasant dive to work.
