Hey Dan, it is the reason I bought in Everett - while it was still up in the air.  

I have been looking at a lot in the Colorado Springs area due to the high turnover rate and demand at the Air Force base.

I'm pretty set on Vancouver or Burnaby, I just really prefer urban living, and I love being by the ocean for lifestyle as well as health reasons (dry thin air doesn't do my skin or lungs any good).  

I've had one that tried to claim Landlord was liable because someone climbed up on their open air balcony and stole a piece of furniture they had left.

I rarely took anything for less than 15%... commissions as we know are negotiable ( although the negotiating is usually downward pressure)... 

Basically, the furnace was installed incorrectly in the boiler room and is taking air from the boiler room itself instead of the fresh air from the rest of the basement.

If they are an experienced flipper who says $30-40K, that means a whole lot more than someone who is just guessing.If they are just pulling numbers out of thin air, and your margin is slim to begin with, it is very easy to go over budget (in fact, bet on going over budget on your first flip) and erase all your profits.But therein lies the catch.

My name is Kurt Core, I am 20 years old originally from just outside of Traverse City, Michigan, but the Air Force has me currently in Albuquerque NM.
