Please feel free to message me also if your looking in the seattle and North of Seattle ares if you would like me to keep a eye out for good investment properties for you.

Someone please open my eyes and steer me in the right direction.

Hi @James Allen,I would say the biggest thing in my eyes would be to respect their time and reputation.

Even though I have not been active in real estate for many years, I have done what I can to keep up with the field and keep the skills I have developed honed by knowing what the local markets are like and I always keep an eye out for investment property.

If this is your plan, then your mortgage at purchase should be an open mortgage (higher rate, but no prepayment penalty) or, at the very least, a fixed-term, variable rate mortgage (penalty of 3-months interest) and not a fixed-rate, fixed term mortgage (penalty: interest rate differential).If you would like a second set of eyes to review your strategy, feel free to PM me.

But finding out how MA housing court judges apply it could be eye opening. 

It also provides a second set of eyes to confirm its actually a deal and the draw schedule helps keep your GC on track.

In addition to my direct mailing (approx 950 pieces, which I also designed...not yellow cards..I tried to be eye catching..think animals..this is animal loving Carmel), I am in the process of building a cash buyers list (no deal yet!!)...

Just keep an eye out for anyone trying to sell you an "easy" solution.  

Keep your eyes on your goal and keep going at it, no matter how many times you hear "No", and you WILL get there.
