Any recommendations on local networks or specific methods that have worked for you?

.- Analyze Comparable Properties: If you’re working in a specific market, reach out to other landlords or property managers with similar assets.

Cities don't play fair when they decide to go after you.One thing I would also suggest you do is look on AirBnB for the specific building you want to buy in. 

This means you'll want to "write off" expenses related to a property you have in service because if those expenses don't benefit you this year they could in the future once you sell the property.We can get into a lot more details with the "if" "and" or "buts" BUT I think this would be the "simplest" answer without diving into your specific situation here.I hope this helps! 

But the likelihood of success with that depends on the specific street.

Maybe it can help you in your specific situation, it depends.

Without knowing the specifics of the neighborhood or property I would expect it to appreciate the same as other 1-4 units in the area over the next decade.

I mean in general what sort of expert should I try finding first, but if someone has specific people in mind who deal with the UP that works for me too.

Specific topics come in waves.

Investors can always benefit from working with someone who knows how to align opportunities with specific strategies.Are there particular types of properties or investment strategies you’ve seen gaining traction in the Seattle area lately?
