It is important to note that the information provided by the other poster above is only true when you purchase the property first as your primary residence.

I'm Kobe from the greater Seattle area and I’ve been passionate about real estate investing for some time now.

Always ask for references and examples of similar projects (pictures)The Red Flags you have to Avoid:Lowball bids (too good to be true often is).Poor communication or delays in responding.Hesitation to provide references or sign a detailed contract.Cash-only deals or pushy behavior to secure the job.

On the positive, he's knowledgeable and you can get a few things out of this.On the negative, you'll hear some information that is simply not true.

That’s impressive and such a fun way to connect your passion for running with family life.It sounds like you’ve got a solid start with house hacking and traveling nurse rentals.

If someone posts something negative about me that is not true and I request them to retract it and they do not, they will be getting sued for enough that they will never consider doing it again.  

Keep up the great work and passion!
