Looking learn about real estate and hopefully find positive cashflow properties in the Seattle/WA state area to invest in.

Or pricing is higher than the project can handle.

Another call to the seller on date of closing.

I rent and really have no desire to purchase in the city because it would be a downgrade of space/neighborhood.

But considering we have to go with the traditional 20% down payment, we know we do not currently have the budget to get an STR that would stand out and have all the amenities that we would like to be able to offer and be in a great location.So I would like to ask for some advice from all the experienced real estate investors on BiggerPockets.Do we get in the game now?

Just had a great experience using Ben Meyer / https://www.mystarenergy.com/ for energy audits in the KC area.

@Sandra Feurtado would visit as many time necessary to get to know the market and build a team you can rely on going forward.

Let them know that they are going to have to start paying for things themselves.

Investment Info:Other buy & hold investment in Pacific Grove.Completed a 1031 exchange into a retail/office building, then converted the second floor into a short-term rental (STR) and mid-term residential unit.

If it's not covered you will have to renegotiate.- In our experience, many S8 tenants cannot come up with a security deposit (SD) of a full month of rent:( So, this may be their adaption to the market.
