They last longer and are easier to clean.People in our area (tenants tend to be students and recently graduated young professionals) prefer to have a garbage disposal, but it's not a deal breaker.  

I think I would prefer Seller Financing so I can utilize my bank for another property in the near future.Oh - Seller has a mortgage on the property for about $60k currently.

Most of the foreclosure deals I've seen are in Lakewood or South Tacoma, but I'd prefer to work around steilacoom, north Tacoma, UP, some areas in Lakewood, Fife.

Its all about preference in my opinion.

You can PM if you prefer.

It totally depends on your preference!

We really prefer not to pay for rehab upfront out of pocket.Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!  

I'm very happy with the arrangement, as I've realized that overall I prefer to manage my properties, but with a full time job and young children, I don't have time to do the maintenance.

I would travel to accomplish it, I could do it in Calgary but prefer the odds of cash flowing in certain markets in the States more.

However, the bottom line is the investor determines the minimum profit or minimum ROI (or whatever calculation they prefer) they are willing to accept.
