Dawn Anastasi (who it won't let me do a "Mention" with) made a comment and brought up a good point, I need clearer objectives.

Account Closed can you please explain your last comment: "You don't have to own a property to control it".

While I'd like to say that the renovation gets the credit for those types of comments, the renovation makes the house look like every other rehabbed house in the neighborhood, which presumably these buyers have looked at as well -- but they didn't seem to fall in love with those houses.My take on this is two-fold:1.

As far as your comment about not sure what to invest in besides the stock market.

(I won't even comment on the grammar).Me: Yes, I buy houses.

I'll throw Bryan a vote for his comment as well ;) Thanks.

So, other than a 13% annual interest rate, there is no big upside to purchase this, since my initial impression was that it was a NPN that I could foreclose upon.Thanks to all for your comments and insights!

Hello @Alex Kelly +1 on @Christopher Bowen's comments on the state of the Seattle multifamily market.There are a couple real estate investment associations who tend to be guru of the month type organizations but the networking and local knowledge are the real value.REAPS (Real Estate Association of Puget Sound) http://reapsweb.com/REIA (Real Estate Investors Association of Washington) www.REIAwa.comTo take your apartment networking to the next level go hang out with apartment owners, operators and those who provide services and products to apartments: the landlord associations.

If you would like to repeat something anyone here has said in public, adapting it to a conversation as a comment, that's one thing, using common knowledge to express your position or point of view, to some extent.

While I couldn't comment on the VA loan to purchase a 4plex, your comment about College Station not having any inventory is not true (have not looked at multi-families however).
