If you need any connections to contractors, insurance agents, title companies, appraisers, deals (off-market single families, duplexes, fully renovated turnkey properties, multifamily properties, buy and hold deals etc I have several deals that come across my desk each day), recourse and/or non-recourse lenders, my opinion on potential properties you are analyzing to buy etc I am more than happy to help you. 

Sounds as if you have several guys in the SPOCOMPTON (lol) area that are doing well, and possibly willing to help. 

In a state where land is so readily available it might take several years for that plan to materialize. 

I also manage several STR units in the city and now live in the city permanently.. definitely opportunities if done right its getting a lil saturated there is over 100 new airbnbs in the city this year and I'm sure plenty more on the way but AC is definitely trending in a great direction the Bart Blatstein project will be a big positive as well.

I have several commercial loans, they are 5 year fixed at 5%, they adjust every five years to the 5 year treasury note rate(around 2%) + the bank adds 3%.

Also, I have had several people come in as second positions for my properties to provide gap funding, but that is because of my track record.

So far my purchases have looked like this:Buy with cashRehab with cashGo to the bank for a refiWhen I do that, I find that I either severely restrict or stop my marketing because most of my resources are tied up in my deal(s).

@Ryan Randels there are several posted here on Bigger Pockets as well as on Meetup.com.

Now I'm starting to think that buying several units with solid cash flow in a hopefully upcoming market is starting to sound better than any potential appreciation I'll get here in Seattle.

They've asked for several extensions while they try to work out financing with different lenders.
