Peter Yang if you are investing for appreciation I thin Seattle is a great market due to the tech influx.

The inventory on 4-6 units is always pretty scarce as the amount of those pales in comparison to duplexes.

@Steven Yang Welcome Steven, if you want to get your first deal I certainly don't recommend quitting your day job before doing so....you'll need to be a successful agent for atleast a couple of years to qualify for conventional loans. :)

@Wei Jie Yang I'd agree with @Odie Ayaga most HML's that I've ever come across or done business with lend to an LLC, you should work with a CPA or attorney as I am neither but it sounds like an LLC would be your best course of action.

@Kevin Yang Potentially.

I would also keep an eye& ear out for the emerging innovators, every significant economic shift and calamity breeds innovators and those innovators require seed capital, think Facebook, Google, Netflix and so on, those early $ investors made multipliers on their capital that makes any other investment pale in comparison.

@Steve Yang Mornig, what neighborhoods specifically?  

Beige with white trim is so common, I would paint an accent wall in the living; or paint the kitchen "Pottery Barn" sage or the hall bath pale metallic silver with a shimmery, trendy shower curtain.

I predict that the rehab will go very, very slowly... and you'll have a tenant that will use every opportunity to not leave.Conflicting tenancy law with contractor law, liability out the yin-yang (if he gets injured working on the house... in Georgia he could sue the living daylights out of you for making him work on the house he was living in and leasing from you)This is a bad idea on so, so many levels.

@Leon Yang @Stan Hill Great question, Jason.
