As new apartments open across the city in record numbers, vacancy rates have grown, rents have stopped rising and landlords are offering an increasing number of freebies to get tenants in the door.For years, the Seattle rental market was so heated that renters would constantly monitor online listings and quickly show up to available apartments with checkbooks and references in hand.

It is incredibly simple to get and maintain a RE license - the barrier to entry is very, very, very, seriously small.

It is also possible that you don't have enough cash on hand to complete the rehab in which case you shouldn't buy it.

Last thing I would want is to have a law suit on our hands @Aaron Klatt Thats a really good idea, however, would this be legal in most states?

Anyway, I wanted to get back on topic.A simple usage of statistics will mislead the individual investor (or if there are a lot of individuals, then the masses of investors).People seemed to use the "Net Migration" number versus "Population Growth".
