Pest control- we put mouse bait out along the fence lines and under the units, mow excess weeds and grass.

Bandit sign grass roots style. $10k won't barely cover the excise tax of a WA sale over there. 

grass is not always greener.. nothing wrong with owning super stable valuable assets that just pay your mortgage.. the little bit of cash flow you might make wont make up for the risk by swapping your basically risk free stablized assets in one of the strongest markets in the country.

I became a broker after I quit my job in tech so I don't have to use Navy Fed and have access to about 30 different lenders instead of just one (themselves - Navy Fed).If you bought a home recently, you might qualify for an IRRRL if rates are at least 0.5% better than when you bought.

As we know the feds are talking about doing 2 more rate hikes this year.

I sure liked them a whole bunch better when rates were going more in a sideways direction, but the Fed has been stating that they will be aggressive in fighting inflation, so rates may continue to go up. 

We didn't make money on this deal since the market took a massive turn with the FED raising rates 3 times during our ownership (rates doubled in 4 months).

Mission fed currently has a couple of adjustable rate mortgage loan products ( 3% down, 5-10 year fixed interest period @ 2.75% interest, Lender covers PMI) that are pretty good. 

Garage drains are different because it is inside and is not fed by rain water.

Is anyone aware of any grant money from the state or feds that might be available to developers?
