Still looking hard for silver bullets.

That's flip flopped a bit and I now find myself working full time at accounting and taxes (particularly since it is tax season now) but still squeezing in time for real estate (I've bought two condos since tax season started this year, one of which is needing a full gut job.  

I love running the numbers on potential properties for practice and am willing to help out more seasoned investors in any way that I can.In summary, I truly look forward to interacting with the community and contributing in any way that I can.  

So I'd remove the tap or put a lock on the tap that's outside your garage, or lock the electric panel and shut off the pump so they can't access it for use.Water is expensive and you can call city to find out cost so if you decide to let the HOA use the well I'd get your HOA fees credited or have the HOA pay you direct..Your electric for running the pump is an expense, and I bet they've used it season long to refill pool when needed. 

I plan on talking to some local banks and lenders to see how viable a refinance will be after the rental property seasoning period with my families current financial situation.Check and Re-check the numbers on the deal analysis.  

First-time buyers, seasoned investors, international money - lots of demand from all angles. 

I can refi after next tax season when I have 2 years of rental income to report.

@Alejandro FloresYou should really consider seeking legal counsel or partner with a seasoned investor.

It has been a big learning experience this year for me in the ebb and flow of the rental market through the seasons, even in Seattle with such low overall vacancy. 

Yeah Kendra a multi-unit building in the Englewood area would be a tall task for even a seasoned local investor.
