I've been doing my taxes and having someone look over them but I want someone who really knows real estate and really knows Washington laws, to not only make sure I fill out my taxes correctly but can keep me updated on any tax incentives / strategies that might help me plan my investments as well. 

When you fill all the white space throughout your day you will realize how productive you can be.

Location: Ames, IowaProperty: 4 plex multi family, about 2 miles from Iowa State UniversityMy overall question is, how hard is a rental to fill after college has started in Ames?

This is the document that your investors read, fill out and sign. 

The best thing that someone can do to be a better customer for a hard money lender to trust them to lend to you, is first and foremost to be 100% truthful from the beginning about the whole situation and filling out application to the best of your ability. 

Here are a couple things you forgot to mention- you shut the electricity off on us the day we moved in (with 100 degree temperatures), you left a non working washing maching in the laundry closet filled with brown water and made us take it out... you also had us walk through the back yard with you and there had been drought for days, so the mud wasnt visible... and in your lease it stated that we were to make you aware of any changing conditions of the property... also i first approached you about the issue asking if we could and i quote “seed the back yard ourselves and just take it out of rent” i never asked you for sod, i never demanded it- actually the first person to mention sod in our emails was you! 

I do and never had any issues filling a vacancy because of that requirement. 

Fill it up, pump it out, ad infinitum. 

Here in Cleveland I can have my unit filled quick.

If you have any realtor friends, find out if they may be willing to add you (it is a single form they fill out, cost to you is like $80/yr).
