I am excited to be writing my first blog post and learning more about the real estate industry.

Hi Rashida :) I definitely relate to you as I am new to this industry as well.

I keep thinking there has to be an easier way, and maybe I have missed a builder that knows the process better, but everything modular going up in Washington has to go through Labor & Industries (L&I) back in Olympia to my knowledge, and that has caused most of the delay. 

Welcome ladies, It is so good to see so many females tapping into this great industry.

This industry is demanding, deals don't just land in your lap.I wasn't sure I'd get into it full time, but for now I am, and I think it is a big challenge if you've got another job competing for your attention - especially at the beginning.

I’ve learned a lot from reading since then and want to get back into the game.

I plan on getting my residential contractors license in January of 2019(since I need 2 years of experience in the industry).

However only 8% of homes were FSBO in 2017..........13 years into their disruption of the industry.....

Generally speaking it takes about 8-12 years for an area that is reeling from economic struggles to recover, unless there is an influx of new businesses or a new industry coming to the area.

My kids learned the term Cash on Cash Return and then worked out the CoC Return for each property in the game of Monopoly.
