I am looking to learn more about the Tri-cities area in Washington and possibly start up a relationship with a realtor that focuses on working with investors.

We started out in a duplex and rented the upstairs apartment.

It depends on how it’s approached and why.As a start, you can skip trace the property.

Also the next time the tenant starts behaving unprofessionally, simply ask them to call you back once they've calmed down and hang up on them...or just hang up on them. 

We started buying single and multi-family properties for the cash flow.  

We concentrate on the subject property and the subject property only  I mean you start still listing documents - sure, vacant means no lease but plenty of DSCR Loans require leases / STR history. 

Since I like wood working, and have made several cabinet boxes for other rentals that needed repair to match existing cabinets, I can always cut new sides & bottoms if/when the presswood starts to deteriorate, and reuse the frames & doors. 

Hi BB Forum,You may have read our first forum post a while ago about getting started and more entrenched in the industry on a full time basis in the following capacities: - Wholesale (Stage 1)- Fix/Flip (Stage 2)- BRRRR (Stage 2)- Buy/Hold (Stage 3)We are out of country investors looking at the best market to have longevity in and it's coming down to Pheonix, Houston or Dallas.

Reach out if you have any questions about getting started! 

What's your take on the path of progress as Huntsville and Madison start to become pricier?
