Additionally, the rental market in Seattle can be competitive, with seasonal fluctuations affecting short-term rental demand.

Worked with Credit Consultant to increase score for better rate and loan terms.

The west coast markets have traditionally been appreciation markets, and if you are not forced to sell and can hold long term, risk diminishes.

My out-of-state clients are successfully purchasing BRRRRs and flips deals here because you can still find cash flowing and 1% rule deals here with tons of appreciation.

Sometimes its nurses but it casts a wide net so you get all types of people who might need a mid term rental. 

I only put 5% down, because I wasn't planning on keeping this house for very long.

Personal readiness includes long-term plans, maturity, and market conditions.

I have had success bringing complex situations to the creative folks of BP and letting you all do your thing... so going back to the well again.There is an area of our town that we would like to purchase our forever home.

@Jaron Walling generally speaking I would agree, but in the Triangle, there's probably less chance that he'd be successful in finding an existing multi where it would make sense.

Are these loan terms competitive?
