Fan motor or compressor - hopefully just the fan motor. 

If I were planning on investing in Seattle this wouldn't deter me.What would deter me is their homeless problem, socialist city council woman harping about rent control, prices, the traffic and finally the frequent protests.I know prices are surging and housing is tight but the political climate there would concern me enough that I wouldn't consider investing inside the city limits.

I thought 30 day notice was standard practice and I was getting greedy asking for 45 days.I'm a fan of the "open house" method while it is still occupied by current tenant.  

What's the possible legal issue that can arise in the future if landlord keep turning a blind eye, not adding frequent Guest as co-tenant?

Unless you are competing with new construction inventory that's coming online, I think your B to C properties will continue to chug along, just without massive annual rent increases.Marco, I've been doing this for 14 years and I invested for several years all over Dallas...I probably agree with you assuming **** doesn't hit the fan.  

Up until that point my wife was not a huge fan of the rentals.#2 was a large amount of weed..

@Chris ChristiansonYou could always apply for an IRS private ruling which is a good idea for questionable transactions. https://www.irs.gov/help-resources/tools-faqs/faqs-for-individuals/frequently-asked-tax-questions-answers/irs-procedures/code-revenue-procedures-regulations-letter-rulings/code-revenue-procedures-regulations-letter-rulings

Im a fan of not putting money down and buying creatively.

I am one of your biggest fans, and I have listened to almost every podcast you and Josh have made.

@Darrell Boaz I would add that comps (solds not actives) change frequently as real estate is dynamic.
