Honestly, I'm going to call another agent at a different office and get a second opinion. 

In fact, I'd argue that you'll obtain better business education by investing out-of-state because this puts you into a business management role rather than a worker bee role.

Sounds like a good question to ask an attorney or your fair housing/real estate commission/housing office about. 

@Brandon Turner - Florida works pretty much the same as Washington State, though in some cases Attorney's offices perform the same functions (in my experience, this is more common with REOs).

I saw co workers have their notes called in and it was ugly.  

The danger in Lonnie deals besides Dodd Frank is that all applicants have to be screened and approved by the park office/ manager.  

In gerneal loan officers lack any sense of inagination. 

Even though I have been educating myself since 2009 by reading books and blogs, watching webinars and tv shows, listening to podcasts and having hands on experience in the RE world (I co-own a reno company and am a mortgage loan officer (as well as a personal finances advisor)), I believe that we should never stop learning and sharpening our skills. 

What I didn't like about Armando, and the Flipping Vegas folks for that matter, was how crappy they treated people (spouse, workers, etc.) and the temper tantrums.

Elizabeth Colegrove is definitely someone you should talk to, I also recommend listening to her podcast.If I was in the military or lived near a base, there is no question I would be in for the strategy of renting class A-B single family homes to officers.
