You could just as easy find an investor friendly agent with experience that can comb through new MLS listings for you.

Ideally would want to do a walk through this week or early next with a start from 7/16.We will be doing more flips this year so looking to start building a stable team of experts and this is an easy project to start with.If interested or if you have recommendation, please let me know!

This decision is not easy so I just renewed my leases, and keep the rents coming until next year.

When I mentioned "utilizing my father and the equity he currently has in his home as my hard money lender" I was referring to him lending me money from a HELOC/ETC to invest in the purchase of real estate.  

It makes it too easy for the tenant to argue. 

I'll refer a client to an attorney only when they have questions about our standard contracts or need something non-traditional written up. 

We find that way, knowing that they can't get their price on the conventional market, they will be more open to hearing about alternative options.However if a Realtor refers us a seller or buyer, we'll pay them a referral fee of up to 25% of whatever we collect for a down payment (usually 3%-10% or the Purchase Price).Hope that helps,Chris Pre

All of this is in reference to sellers who have no clue how the market works. 

Then call their employer, references, and past landlords.

As new apartments open across the city in record numbers, vacancy rates have grown, rents have stopped rising and landlords are offering an increasing number of freebies to get tenants in the door.For years, the Seattle rental market was so heated that renters would constantly monitor online listings and quickly show up to available apartments with checkbooks and references in hand.
