And, much, much more.The whole three day event was broken up into one or two hour segments with 10 minutes of each segment dedicated to hard core house flipping information, and it was good information, very accurate and to the point, and I truly believe this, absolutely no sarcasm in that statement.

You job would be to provide a compelling reason she it should be and how seller and family will benefit and how you will help them accomplish this.

I agree that getting to a true return can get complex fast, and that complexity can make what are, at their core, easy to understand and execute ideas, needless hard to follow for people not familiar with the lingo.

Even if you're only about the numbers,  this is something to consider.I feel compelled to say...it's OK to not just be about maximizing profit!  

That being said, local banks have much more flexible lending guide lines and can work with you on tough deals if you have a compelling case for a strong deposit relationship or ongoing business. 

If these companies continue to fill all the office space they're bulding, buying or leasing then rents will continue to grow in the Seattle core; those not rolling in tech green will have to look further out for affordable rents and that should benefit Everett.

But at my core, I'm a MARKETING guy.  

I read a post about a week ago about an investor that felt compelled to burst us newbies' bubbles who are coming into this field too wide-eyed and too bushy-tailed...

At the prices now here you're lucky to get a 10% return on anything, so it feels like there's no compelling reason to buy local property over the stock market/syndicate deal when they'll typically return 10%+ for no work.  

That circle will grow where ever its the most compelling and price also compels don't forget.
