I imagine some employing brokers will see the value in that and consider me a pretty safe bet. 

I will have to spend some time at the court house and see the process in action.  

Can't wait to see the unintended consequences of this tax!

I see the mindset you are trying to instill into people but flips are the hardest out of wholesaling and rentals.

I guess those are options that you guys will have to weigh but my two cents would be buy in Tacoma,  see the rents rise, maybe a little appreciation and later you can buy that vacation home that you've always wanted.

So maybe knock off $10k per year which at a 10 cap would imply knocking off 100k on an offer sheet.Here's where I see the play: Lot rents $150, park owned average $375.

When you see the rate get above 10% it's time to buy. 

Anyway, I tried to talk to them and tell them they can stay until the property is sold as long as I can let buyers see the inside. 

We don't do this, nor do we originate loans for others, but some lenders do and you should ask to see the first position paperwork to ensure your borrower understands what he agreed to.Alternately, you can take an equity interest in the property and partner with the rehabber.

Instead, this guy wants me to drive to his office to sign an NDA, then go with him and a cadre of other investors to see the property.
