Real estate valuation based on potential income and cash flow is a powerful tool for assessing the value of a property.

You need to assess your financial position and figure out what your goals are and what risk you would be best suited to handle if you can't get all of your money back.

Seattle is probably progressive enough to do some nice infill projects with this product but most areas aren't ready for it just yet.

General comment on off topic post- Tax Value and assessing property value varies so much location to location, it becomes area specific.

Keep us informed as to progress of the situation.

Will keep reading the posts and let you know about my progress. great posts guys.

Apartment complexes are the natural progression for RE investors after they have earned respectable cash reserves.$100k is a pretty respectable amount to consider investing in an apartment complex( 12 to 25 units perhaps) which gives you lot more benefits with lesser work, due to economics of scale.But apartment complexes are a totally different ball-game compared to single family and requires a knowledge base considerably different to that of single-family knowledge base.Having said that, I know people with sizable cash reserves who jumped right into apartments without touching SF houses.Based on your post, I cannot advise you to invest in apartment complexes because it seems to me you need to get more experience/knowledge under your belt.

I'm about to write about the subject and I just wanted to refresh my memory to try to give the most honest and even assessment on the subject.

Always appeal your assessed property values. 5) Property managers: If you want me to suggest someone message me.

Also if any of you have any ideas as to how Ican meet some new investors besides REIA groups and old fashionnetworking please feel free to leave a tip and I will be sure toupdate you guys with my progress.
