Locally the COVID relief fund is called CERA and it pays all back rent, 3 months of future rent and utilities.  

There is a local REI.

I'm looking to BRRRR in the Beaumont/Golden triangle area given the low price-to-rent ratios and availability of inventory below 100k.Would be grateful if any locals or investors in the area could share some pointers.

So people are still traveling in spades, more than ever, maybe just not to the same places, making this likely a local thing.More to @Jerry Calhoun's point on international travel being the hot trend now, the Booking.com CEO was just on CNBC giving an interview and he said that in the past two years their bookings revenue in the US has very much outpaced European bookings (which have lagged coming out of covid), but is seeing much larger growth in Europe bookings this year.

Whether you're buying or selling, consulting a local realtor is key to navigating the ever-changing landscape and achieving your real estate goals.

I'm not an attorney and Washington state law is a real pain in the a$$, so I'd recommend contacting a WA attorney that works with investors such as : http://www.seattle-realestate-lawyer.com/Do you have any "boots on the ground" in WA? 

I do have a local group and have spoken at length with a number of people more experienced than me.

By state law we had to do a lot of asbestos testing, and I ended up getting asbestos training.I was told that some drywall as late as mid 1980s had asbestos, so we took numerous random samples, but found none. 

Looking for laws and best practices around it but I am seeing conflicting things.

@John WilliamsMost likely will flatten out but depends on specific locale.
