Timing is one thing - but finding the right property at the right valuation at the right location should be the driver. 

You may not get what you want out of the sale with the tenants in place that is why many investors here in California try to sale as soon as the lease is over and the unit can be delivered vacant.

Even if the seller has agreed with the purchaser to deliver the premises vacant, neither will be able to terminate your tenancy without formally going through the eviction process in your state.

You can have someone knock that out for 300 bucks combined.Those windows are gonna cost you WAY more money than you think, that's a painful lesson I've learned from experience.A nice, clean, used range can be had from an appliance reseller for 250-300 delivered, easy.Front door may very well cost you more if you replace the whole thing.Save some money on the flooring, 5500 is a lot of money for $500 rent/unit700 for a tub handle???

Portland and Seattle look like they are big drivers behind the legislation.

Many Turnkey Marketing companies conveniently drop that last word, because they technically do sell turnkey investments, but they don't own them, they dont have skin in the game long-term, and they are being paid to deliver you, the qualified investor to whoever is willing to pay the most in each market.

In short, if you sell me the sizzle you better deliver the steak. 

And just being me ("Just because I'm paranoid does not mean their not out to get me" - I also want a copy of their driver's license and GC license.

This last phrase, depending exactly how you deliver it, we convey all kinds of subcommunication to your tenants.This is another good reason to use M2M leases. 

Time frame - How long do you need your investment to deliver cash flow?
