Stay safe and healthy!

We eventually sold that house for a healthy profit last year and bought a place that we really love with a huge down payment.  

My family is healthy, new addition in 3 weeks, and my business is thriving. 

I'd love to hear how to safeguard against risk of non-paying tenants with the idea that pandemics/eviction moratoriums can happen.Hi Erin, sounds like you've got a good team around you with a CPA who helps you do planning.Although it can be nice to get a minimum number of units for a little diversity of income (5-10 units), I don't agree you need to keep growing to some set number (like 20) in order to reduce risk.Instead, just have healthy cash reserves to get you through the cash flow ups and downs.

Somewhere progressive, healthy, outdoorsy, and young.

As for  Seattle - the city regs can be onerous, but there's a ready supply of tenants and rental rates are pretty healthy.

Healthy Navy population with the bases at Bremerton and Bangor (not so different from UW in terms of a healthy rental market), but also lots of healthcare employees.

As a result, with the new 5% conventional financing for house hackers, this size/shape inventory is going to see a healthy boost demand in the coming months/years.  

Sure they could sell and walk away with a pretty healthy gain.

Your real estate business has put you in a healthy position to deal with life's demands and adapt as needed.
