(not necessarily in a seller disclosure document).All good food for thought.

A lot of these are newbie people who think they're gonna get rich quick with some magic bullet.  

And to add high taxes to already high taxes, Seattle is trying to put an income tax together "for the rich".

Just food for thought.

I hear from wholesalers ALL the time and most fail... either because they have unrealistic expectations or they are hooked on the get rich quick schemes sold by gurus... having said that, you seem to have a true desire and PASSION to succeed - -- Passion is what sets the successful apart from the average.  

I live in the shoreline area of Seattle with my husband and have been listening to the bigger pockets podcast for months now as well as reading as much as I can about real estate (can you say Rich Dad Poor Dad?!)

The only book on my radar so far is Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad for Teens and the cash flow board game.The program for my kids is a summer reading challenge while they are out of school.

If they can not or do not pay debt is debt and you do not want to be last in line to collect.I always tell my tenants I expect the rent to be paid ahead of car repairs, utilities, medical and food.

@Chris Martin Hi Chris I see you mentioned in your bio that you felt the market was to rich and that you were sitting on the sidelines till things improve 4/20/2015.

From there I'd learn about the areas in your community that are more "wholesale properties rich" and learn how to run comps and calculate the arv based on the math of a flipper and the math of someone in buy and hold.
