I am able to leverage myself into several positive equity positions where, for the same amount of cash using traditional methods, I would have been able to acquire less than one third the number of properties or amount of equity.Cash flow and equity positions are, in my mind, very similar to tech stocks and strong dividend producing blue chip stocks.

The renters/buyers there aren't commuting to Seattle (not many at least but I do know one) but between Boeing, the Navy port and the Naval Air Station in Oak Harbor there are plenty of people commuting from the Mount Vernon daily.

Sometimes the folks giving advice on here , like Al Gores brother hehe, are so stupid you wonder why they have survived because they are not smart enough to open a bag of chips to keep from starving, then I run across folks I want to just sit and listen to because I feel like am getting smarter from listening to them. 

You want more control, take the chips off and go find another deal to create greater cash flow and equity for yourself.

I've used Jon Anderson at City of Oaks Law.

Hi again, Taj -I have a mix of single family, multi family and condos in New York and Chicago and I am getting more than $200 in cash flow per unit, but I tend to take a risk-averse blue chip strategy.  

@Jorge Santiago - welcome to BP.Alonna - there is a DIG subgroup that meets in Oaks, just a few exits from you off of 422. 

My property is about a 1000 ft outside that loop.3 of my addresses are facing Springhill Ave, and zoned commercial, while the 4th backs up to these parcels, faces Oak St. and is zoned residential.The smaller house, commercial building and large metal building are owned free and clear.

Thousand Oaks vs. 

Keep chipping away at it!
