That's why I really appreciate BP and real estate blogs in general, nowadays :-) You can shop around for a good fit for your strategy, from apartment complexes, inner-city investing, creative financing, and sub30k properties.

Your waitress serving you coffee lives someplace, her husband might have a job, they may like to move out of that apartment, you don't know until you ask.Select a farm area, you're in a huge city area, you can't work it all, find an area where the people fit closely with your skills, education levels, social aspects so that you can relate to those that are drawn to that area and price range.

It can be good policy to keep the tenant but if they aren't asking for it, I'm probably not doing it until I need to or if there's an insurable loss..but that's me; Andy: In the context of a view encompassing only the immediate bottom line, your above statement fits and makes sense.

Here's what I wrote here last June:Originally posted by @David Krulac:@Bryan WellerI don't like LLC, INC names that mimic the owner's name, like:Bryan Weller LLCWeller Real Estate LLCI think that the company name should be completely different from your own name, even Bryan and Bob LLC is something I don't like.From the IRS prospective there is always the question of dealer or investor, which often equates to being Federally taxed at long term Capital Gains rates or ordinary income at double the taxes. so your name should not state or imply that you are a dealer like:Day Trading Real Estate LLCBryan's Buying & Selling Real Estate LLCBryan's Flipping Homes LLC.Another thing that happens is that the nature of your business might change and now the specific name you pick does not apply likeRehabbing Chicago LLCThen you stop rehabbing or stop working in Chicago, once you move to Milwaukee or even Skokie and only do rentals the name Rehabbing Chicago doesn't make sense any more and will confuse people.I'm not as bothered by this one but have seen people that have names that don't quite fit or don't fit yet like:Worldwide Real Estate LLCGlobal Real Estate LLCTranscontinental Real Estate LLCActually met a couple of people with names like those who didn't own any real estate.

It would more fit our strengths of tour guide types than full blown hospitality types.This would be close to downtown Seattle, and I’m wondering if there is really enough of a market.

If it fits in your potfolio and your significant other doesn't care I would go for it.

You might want to touch base with the Norris Group, they are right in your backyard and have several resources that might be a fit for you.

We were able to fit them all in and proceed with the development.

I'll see if it fits the bill.PT

That does not fit my current needs.
