I'd like someone to work with to review my environment and give advice before purchasing any more properties.

Questions should cover things like: What is the worst deal you have invested in and why, is your track record audited, why did the company start, what is the macro/micro strategy for the offering, can you show example proformas, what are your debt terms, what are the minimum investments, are you willing to provide an investor reference, how are you handling the current economic environment (inflation, rising rates, recession concerns etc).The person you are talking to should be able to answer these questions without a hitch, and if they are unable to answer those questions without looking them up that says to me they are unprepared and are not trained well. 

I'm a relatively small fish here but I can share what I've learned and my experience.

The drop in existing home sales is not due to rising interest rates, its due to no homes for sale.Unsold inventory may have jumped, but means absolutely zero in this low inventory environment. 

I'm glad that my gut is showing me that it's unrealistic to attempt such a feat of one home a year in this market and environment. 

It also avoids issues like this as I charge the same deposit for a cat, fish, lizard, turtle or dog etc.

In addition to that, we are in a rising interest rate environment which adds another layer of complexity to your executing a good BRRRR.Where would you do your STRs?

I don't recall if there were any SSA, but I know there were fish and wildlife, and about a dozen other spaces, at least, that were government offices through GSA.

I agree with Bruce....Also, being that you are Seattle, I would raise another 10% since you are in a high risk landlord environment. 

Seems a bit like a junk fee. 7% seems aggressive in todays rising rate environment.
