Of course, I'm making tons of assumptions about your free time, level of knowledge, etc.

You should have no problem finding varying levels of cashflow/stability and plenty of options to choose from (SFR, multi, new construction, historic, etc.)

I'm near Seattle if this kind of resource is available at the local level.

I want to bring my REI business to the next level and I focus on wholesaling. 

And later on, if values get back to "robust" levels, you could sell with the appreciation, or continue renting and cash-flowing at the favorable level.This is all coming from a newbie, so take it for what it's worth. 

@Preet Bains - it is really going to depend on your level of experience and risk tolerance.  

Thanks Brie  the thing that gets me is not the $240 the fact that the Board singled out investors on many levels , adding increasing fines if rental is visited by police, wanting to be on liability policy of unit.  

This is simple and does not dive into ROI or high level marketing analysis, which is needed for sure once you are rolling.  

Hi @James Brand - I'm located in Philly and I always install ceiling fans in my rentals no matter the level of tenant/neighborhood.

That was painful.When a potential borrower, agent, or broker now approaches us, we can have a short top-level conversation about what we do and our terms, but we always follow this up with our not-so-short email that we know responds to 99.9% of their other questions+.
