Head-scratching 'solutions to affordability ' going on there in Seattle!

@Matt Hoyt  Matt, thanks for that reference. 

I'm sure you're participating in local RE Investment Clubs - ask other investors to refer you to someone they've used successfully.

They have fences separating the units with each unit having their own yard/space.I would refer to myself as the PM and not the owner.I would live in the worst of the units and rehab it.Once rehabbed I would move into the next worst unit and rent the just rehabbed unit at top of market prices.I would then rehabbed the unit I moved into (the current worst unit), and once it is rehabbed I would rent it at top of market.Repeat for each unit.When all units are rehabbed you have a fully rehabbed property obtaining top of market rent. 

Do your homework and speak with references in the program to understand what you'll get before you join.

I think we've found an affordable "quasi" solution and I thank you all for your input. 

If you find a company you like, ask for a couple references and vet them. 

I know some investors/agents I can refer.

Account Closed I'm unsure what you're  referring to?

I understand credit reports can be sticky but what about rental history, references, etc?
