The biggest risk around it in Seattle right now is the city council and their push for more rental regulations,  with several influential council member's stated ultimate goal being rent control.    

I just received all of my course material from Allied Real Estate Schools and was wondering if anyone else was starting their 180 hour segment around the same time and if you would be interested in a study group to push/help each other?

What are good ways to push half (or all) of the closing cost onto the seller?

If I decide later to start a construction business (actively building and selling new spec houses), assuming this is taxed as ordinary income with social security, etc and treating the homes as inventory - if you build a house, then sell it, then spend that money building a second one, but don't sell it until the next year, then sell it, then build another, can you effectively push off the taxes as you are rolling the sale proceeds into new inventory costs / construction costs?
