By doing that we were able to train them in a trade, which enabled them to get their lives back on track.

"Kennel" means any establishment in which five or more canines, felines, or hybrids of either are kept for the purpose of breeding, hunting, training, renting, buying, boarding, selling, or showing.Definitely time to change your lease for the future and add a pet clause.

Thanks again.I brought it up because I thought I was noticing a pattern while analyzing deals, wanted to see if anyone else observed it as well.Of course I realize the difference between ARV and Assessed wouldn't give an EXACT estimate of repairs, but was thinking maybe it was a good starting point for further analysis.For example, if a property's ARV and Assessed are very far apart I was thinking it might indicate that the property needs a lot of work...and vice verse if the ARV and Assessed are very close together.Is there any logic behind my train of thought in your opinion?

I don't think Ernie is that way, however as a guy with a couple thousand probate deals under my belt, I haven't been inclined to take anyone else's training.

I don't have any specific info on agencies in WA, but you're going to want to focus heavily on training and agent support when you're interviewing at brokerages.

I have acquired a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology and my Masters of Science in Social Work, Management, Leadership, and Community Planning (MLCP), which provides me the knowledge of organizational management, staff recruitment and training, policy and budget analysis.

After the property is placed in service, then ongoing maintenance and repairs can be expensed.

Any idea of how to compensate myself for this ongoing effort?  

My first thought is to hire a buyer to train, assist with marketing, visit properties, and make offers. 

Almost like renting a house next to train tracks and complaining to the landlord about the train noise .
