What I am doing in the Seattle area can be done in almost any market so feel free to reach out if you have questions. 

I am ready to start investing and make a move but I feel like I'm all over the place with ideas and I'm having a hard time coming down to one goal/strategy.

Now my spring is also feeling slim compared to last year, but I’m trying to stay the course and be prepared for last minute bookings to fill the calendar.

But because we can cash flow we feel it makes more sense currently to keep the property and sell within the next three years should we choose to do that and we'll still be able to avoid the capital gains and maybe even see more appreciation.We live in Portland, ME and we've been seeing steady growth in rental prices as well as continued appreciation for single family homes.

That way you can feel each other out.  

There are no house in the zip code has 5 bedrooms, so I feel mine is very competitive.  

I feel the market we are in, it’s hard to find a property that will cash flow above 8% CoC return with current prices and interest rates.

Feel free to reach out anytime with loan related questions. 

In all seriousness, I am sure a lot of "mom & pop" hosts are feeling the competition right now.

We just got back from visiting the area and have decided that we want to buy in Bradenton, FL since that area seems to fit us best and our future needs while also still being within our current price range (<$450k).I have already listened and watched many BP webinars and podcasts and am about to purchase David’s book, start with strategy since I feel that’s the best next step for me and my husband to get our plan onto paper and to solidify our thoughts together (all while still saving money of course!).
