I was hoping to purchase the deed, do the ejectment and quiet title under the proper timelines, and hopefully, one day, build my family's dream home on this property lol.

I've since learned how to install flooring, any kind of trim (I own multiple types of saws),  open up walls to create a more open concept, paint cabinetry, build tables, ect. 

I'll have to save up for that every month.I estimate the cost to replace those 2 water heaters, run a new gas line, and install another gas meter might be $3,500 - $4,000 including labor...

That being said, I was considering taking all the proper course work (it costs around $1500 at a local community college) just so I could learn the more technical details of the business. 

These have a real upscale look and don’t even resemble a drop ceiling once installed

After reading a few forum posts about the Seattle market and seeing a few MLS listings for multi-family homes, it seems like people are recommending to buy properties out of Seattle proper due to strict regulations for renters and price increases.I was originally looking in areas such as Ballard, Fremont, Wallingford, Greenlake because of the influx of technology employees such as myself but it seems that majority of these areas have increased prices and strict regulations.

is, what are the proper steps someone like myself would need to take in order to get my property management business off the ground and running?

You might like the $98 Home Depot special or maybe a $1,000 bidet is your style.He doesn’t want to get stuck with the extra cost.Have him provide allowances for fixtures, finishes and installation so you have a better idea of final costs.Better yet.

@Chris Seveney I agree that most of the risks which were said prior can all be mitigated by proper due diligence.

I just finished a remodel for a duplex in Echo Park and had a Rheem RTX 13 electric tankless heater installed in each unit.
