I added my year of insurance costs to upfront as well ;) ;) I do have a great team, I'm incredibly grateful for them all.

In Seattle over the next two years you have Facebook doubling their Seattle area head count, Microsoft is opening their new bigger campus, Amazon has a couple more office buildings that will be completed and Google is taking over additional office space....along with a bunch of smaller growing companies continuing to expand and bring in high paid talent.I would do anything I could to not sell the Seattle property.

Drive around and look for new commercial construction, etc..You can probably google major employers and get a sense of who the big players are in the area and what kind of local market share each major company holds. 

Then keep adding to your proceeds from the first flip to fund the second and so on.

Hey @Chris Laino ,You'll get the most profits by purchasing something under market value and then adding improvements/renovations.

You can google search, call the bandit signs that offer to buy houses for cash, go to any REI meeting.

I put up an ad advertising hard money and the potential lendee reached out to me.

Plus you are local and more familiar to the area so that is an added bonus. 

Then go check Yelp, Facebook and Google for reviews.
