I've already spoken with a realtor I like, anyone have any tips or recommendations PM or areas?

We love cozy.co (notice that isn't .com...that goes to something different) as it's simple to use, handles the background checks for us, makes it simple to collect rent and is easily linked to other social media sites so we can get the word out that we have a rental available.

I can just imagine the type that would give negative feedback about a free site that is member-supported and member-moderated. 

An example of a site in Seattle is: https://www.seattleinprogress.com/

Great that you joined the site! 

I found this deal on craigslist after someone tipped me off to some oil activity going on in the region.

If anyone here has any advice or tips or just wants to say hi.

I found it while searching auction sites How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I found it by obsessively searching broker's web sites.
