Has vacancies increased in Washington, Boston, and Bloomington in the last 15 years, no.

I do business in OR/WA and TX is different, so am curious.I do apts, so I do have a short list of title officers since they're more complicated deals (handling pro-rates on funds), but if that officer moved to another title company, I'd follow them.  

We see on bigger pockets daily many people talking about how they're sitting on the sidelines with a pile of cash waiting for a crash so they can get a great deal, seller agents know this so they will be trying to get their clients as much as possible to get a bigger commission. then there's the fact that there will be competing buyers unlike the last crash when we had many options for properties, and the sellers were begging for buyers to show-up.From what I've seen is most major metropolitan areas, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, Miami, Washington, DC. etc. all have implemented policies to prevent widespread evictions of tenants far beyond what the banks are noting as the deadline for no foreclosures, to make sure they don't get devastated like last time, so it's back on the small to mid-level operators as to how much damage will be done.I'm not an Economist so this is just my own opinion, and expectations.      

But I wanted to get more opinions on this.2) This same broker recently asked me if I would be interested in filling their administrative assistant position which is salaried, and they say it could be a good way to learn the real estate agent role from the inside out.

In OR (and WA) most title companies are under the purview of state insurance commissioner that sets their rates. 

Labor and materials were about $15,000 total to make the quality comprable to our previous house in Washington Heights.

The more developed neighborhoods (Cherry Creek, Washington Park, Highlands, RINO/5 Points) are cool but also more expensive.

I live in the Seattle,WA area, great for appreciation but home prices in the 300s are considered cheap.

IDK, but maybe that's a good market to tap into as many families need a STR for both VMI and Washington and Lee events.
