Is this slow down limited to Seattle or is the assumption that this is the harbinger of a national slow down?

So his question is  what is the best way to go about selling the house and avoid the capital gains tax?

Do you need to raise capital, build partnerships, etc. 

I am a recent college graduate with little capital and loan repayments starting soon.

I have a spreadsheet to track how much I accrue/set aside each month based on the rents I expect to have coming in.My banks let me have these accounts for free with some nominal minimum balance requirements.I have separate accounts for:Working Capital (main account, rents come in, mortgages go out)CapexRep/Maint/VacancyTax/InsuranceCashflowTenant deposits (for self managed properties)https://www.amazon.com/Profit-First-Transform-Cash...

But, I would never invest there, unless I had a large amount of working capital and the desire to flip houses. 

What I can offer: - my experience as a buy and hold investor (26 units) - insight in the markets in Latin America and spain where I spent several years and in my home country Germany - a good time :-) Looking for:- your experience, espacially with finding deals and raising capital- general information about this areaI am also interested in vacational homes / AirBnB and mobile home parks. 

I am quite excited and motivated to get to my first few wholesale deals out of the way in order provide enough capital to move into a more burr focused model which may include rental units before executing on that final "r". 

You are debt free which is a big plus and you have the capital reserve which they will also want to see.The biggest concern, as previously stated, will be finding the triplex that will pass the FHA inspection/guidelines.

I specialize working with buyers nationally for larger multifamily and also retail commercial properties.Some are serial lookers afraid to buy the property when you do find the deal for them.Be blunt with a broker.
