As of 1:30pm on December 19th, there are 170 self-described motivated sellers in King and Snohomish counties.As an investor-friendly Real Estate Agent, tracking where you can find some additional negotiation room is one of the things I prioritize for my clients.

Right now I'm studying single family homes to rent out by the room for students.

This house can be torn down and rebuilt with room enough to win big or can be kept as the spacious 3/2 that it is and updated to be the pride of the neighborhood.

The only thing I can add, since they nailed it above, is renting out rooms?

It is easy, can be done from the comfort of your dining room table, and doesn't require mass printing.

I rent the apartment per room basis (majority graduate/post doc students). 

The addition has a large living room with a fireplce, closet and full bath, and separate entrance.

Stone has to be done by hand now (no room to get machine by )   This alone has set the job back over 2 weeks closer to 3 , and added $9000 to the " budget "       Would I eat this as the contractor ?  

I lease the rooms individually to veterans.

Could anyone send references and contact information for a qualified 1031 intermediary near (or in) Grand Rapids, MI?
