Anyway, the point of this is to say you cannot apply the same strategies touted on BP to other countries or for that matter the desirable areas of the US either (like California or New York or Seattle etc).

Especially in this desirable west Seattle neighborhood.

Probably not as desirable as your agent earning both buyer and seller commission sides, but everyone gets represented and the deal gets done properly.Good luck with it!  

You determine how much you're willing to pay for the property based on your desired cashflow. 

I actually just read your post on the forum and I applaud your desire and willingness to try and move out of the super expensive Bay Area.

That way you can more easily determine if you are on track to meet your goal since purchasing "X" amount of properties is not an accurate way of determining if you have achieved your desired monthly cash flow.  

I actually sent out a test ad on Facebook Marketplace, and got a multitude of responses, or “potential buyers” so now I am communicating with them to see why their desires are while I go out looking for homes

My friend wants to sell the property due to cancer treatments and lack of desire to own the property any longer. 

Hopefully we can find solid renters with the desirable location.

The Auto Shop Owner (Buyer) tore down the SFH and now has one large 18,000+ sf commercial corner lot in a desirable neighborhood in Houston.
