Congratulations on the first rental and all the knowledge you have gained from it to set you up for the next property. 

Washington state investors, have you done any deals in Yakima?

Thank you Michael Baum for your response. 

Hello,Which modem and WiFi Router is recommended for STR's?  

I have a loan estimate from a lender that increases the loan amount by ~$3500 which essentially cancels out the out of pocket expenses, and reduces my rate to 7.5%.

Which lender was it, and what were the biggest problems you faced?

Yeah I am not worried at all about which may have more protections.

I’m really excited to get involved in the community and learn about different markets across the country.As a first-time homebuyer and investor, I’m curious about which markets might be good for starting out.

Why are you using rules of thumb and not using the results of the thorough inspection by a great inspector that you are surely using and would be an idiot not to base your numbers on? 

If you decide to stay a local investor.
