As it states in my title, I am looking to connect with members in the Seattle area specifically (but of course will connect with those in all areas of the country).

as a broker in two states, I agree with @Bill R., getting a sales license isn't necessary for investing.

Proceed with a 30 day eviction, accept no money and don't agree to any extension.

I'm closing on a property with one remaining tenant who agreed to move out 30 days close of escrow with the seller.

@Jay Hinrichs: I agree that it would be very difficult but can be possible if you can take on partners who have resources and you are bringing other value to the table.

If you want to sign Far Bar as is contracts with a 60 day closing and then agree to do a 45 day extension addendum while you are waiting on probate, then you could be aggressive that way, but I would just let it go, and remind them weekly you are interested.  

I totally agree with you; finding a mentor is a great way to learn more about something.

I agree with a couple of points above: you would be much better served with your own buyers' agent.

That’s because I observe Sabbath from sundown on Friday night to sundown on Saturday night – and no it’s not because I’m Jewish.Believe it or not, I solidified my conclusion about when to observe Sabbath based off of what day of the week folks celebrate Easter.As best I know, everyone who celebrates the resurrection of our Messiah agrees that it took place on a Sunday.
