@Jake ThorpeMost lenders will not touch them and I am not sure also if they are considered real property They may be more financable if they were considered a vehicle…

The market is hot and the entire world is looking to KC as an investment vehicle.    

This way you contribute and retain the freedom to invest in the best investment vehicle on the planet. 

BRRRR is just another strategy and vehicle that allows you more flexibility and other exit strategies.

I do believe real estate is prime vehicle!  

They are a vehicle to get things that you really want - financial security, options, time with your family, etc.

I just did not want to blast them because they are wonderful with my home and vehicle insurances haha.I will take this into consideration though going forward, as their insurance is great!

That point just arrived.To address your questions on local Snohomish county areas, I'll start by saying that the Hwy 2 trestle (near Everett) rushhour gridlock will eventually be resolved. 30,000 vehicles/day pass over the trestle now and that's growing fast. 

I decided to make REI my wealth-building vehicle and took the plunge.

I would caution anyone who uses their family homes equity as a vehicle to in invest in other deals.
