With regards to tenants I guess that’s the risk we all have to take, I might be wrong but I’m guessing in places like lowell where the rent is cheaper the quality of the tenet maybe more unpredictable compared to closer to Boston, what do you think?

1) economic status is stable ... nothing too dramatic pending one way or the other 2) market in pierce county healthy ... more inventory than king ( Seattle )3) most of Tacoma’s suburbs seem much closer in proximity to the city as compared to Seattle ... there are a few areas that will be lower in price ( and not as desired ) 4) 

The market is at decent price right now(compare to other major US), but getting higher every year. 

Returns don’t seem to be as good as a rental property - What are you comparing this to?

However, one of the owners who just purchased a neighboring quad asked if I would be interested in going in on a bulk W/D purchase, so there's a very good chance that comparable units (literally next door) will have W/Ds in them.

My fiancee and I have been "driving for dollars" and have been sending out mailers to properties that look neglected and/or just kind of look like crap compared to the neighborhoods they are in.

. - thats fix and flipBRRRRbuying property for $400k, ARV $700K, will try to save in renovation but will still come out to about $140keach 3 bedroom apartment in area is going for $2,300/month (confirmed with rentometer and local listings) Taxes are $5,300/yearso what I did was $2,300/month each unit = $4,600/month75% of $700,000 = $524,250 at 4.25% = mortgage payment of $3,943.82/monthWhen you add water, tax, insurance, maintenance I am getting another $1,138.75/monthso in the end you negative cash flow ($482.57)I know the property is being bought at the right price, compared to location, but can that be possible where a property makes sense as fix and flip and not as BRRRR? 

That being said, I always encourage people to shop around a bit and compare services/prices. 

Hello guys thought it’d be interesting to start a discussion about ************* (real estate guru) me and my sister went to a free seminar in Miami FL and signed up for a 997$ 3day real estate course from 9-6pm Starting June 7th 2019 - June 9th 2019 Me and my sis split the payment, the whole “we are a business real estate knowledge isn’t free” i mean I’ve been to many of these free seminars and they all pitch you some insane price for real estate education or training or some “elite course” farce companies like Renatus etc.. however since i admire ************* and 997$ wasn’t that much compared to what I’ve seen in the past we ended up signing up i will GLADLY update you guys to see if it was worth it or if i learned anything.

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.
