Hi Katlynn,While a trust is a good vehicle to hold property it does not provide any liability protection itself.

Like everyone here, you are looking to multiply your money, and are looking for the fastest vehicle to do so, but what will be fastest is what you are passionate about.

I still believe REI is the best wealth building vehicle out there.

My attitude though, and I couldn't be wrong, is that it shouldn't matter as long as you can have them cashflow positive AND you are using the right investment vehicle.

This is not the investment vehicle for me in Chicago.

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.

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

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.
