When I pick up the tab, I have my friend sign the check.

But it was before and it's picking up again now.Properties are in Washington state, greater Seattle area but not in Seattle proper, not landlord friendly area still....I'm early 40's and tired of being a landlord or being tied to the area I don't want to live in anymore due to having to manage the properties (PM too expensive).

To be near family and friends, school districts, cost of living, to spend more time with the babies. 

Hello All - Any Wholesale Friendly Title Companies you can recommend in the Bristol, VA Area?

To get started, try to find an investor-friendly contractor and offer to pay them for their time, especially if they're walking a property that you aren't under contract with. 

I’ve been wondering that same thing.Seems to me when comparing candidate investments, why would I pay more for an investment with risk and work (5% Cap multifamily), than a risk-free passive investment (5% CD or T-Bill).Note that going from a cap rate of 5% to 10% is a 50% drop in price…that’s significant…easy to see why a seller isn’t willing to give a higher return.I’ve asked the question before and gotten answers like it’s because investor borrowing costs vary, and you must consider future rent growth and appreciation … I guess if you have low borrowing costs and are optimistic about the future a 5% cap rate makes sense. that's just a bunch of bull from agents and gurus trying to keep their game going... of course price should drop 50%... say today the commeercial loans are at 7%, and cap should be 2% higher to make the risk worth while, so call it a 9% cap.patience... this bs market needs cleansing... and when the time comes, it will be easy picking.no need to play the hard game... my friend

Thank you my friend 

I am wondering what are the tax implications for this individuals (most of them are from Spain). 

My friend hired us to be the general contractor.

It is not NOT STR friendly, but I'm curious about seasonality and occupancy...the good and the bad.
