That does help and is kind of wild how simple that was!

Okay ladies and gentlemen investors I'd love to hear your thoughts on this subject!  

Will likely send it to real estate agent. 13-Lady caller said not interested in selling at this time.

Looking at the history of the town I don't see many wild swings, but if it does appreciate, that's just an added benefit.My CAPEX is set to 10% because both the roof and furnace are 12 years old.

That is why "AI" or zestimates are wildly inaccurate.  

ummmm the S&P hit 22% last yearI don't think it's a wild claim to say the average RE investment isn't hitting 22%, so of course it'll be lower when you compare it to a year when equities were on a bull rampage.

I rent to a blended family when I first screened them I gave them the green light because one spouse had good credit the lady and the other spouse had good income the guy.

There is also an Eastside meet up in Kirkland on the first Friday of each month at the Wilde Rover.

I _think_ we have fairly modest ambitions—if we were cash flowing $10k/month in 10 years we would feel wildly successful. 

Don't discount the role of lady luck and the huge infrastructure investment paid for by your fellow taxpayers including your tenants in your success or you'll just end up an arrogant magical thinking ***
