Hello BiggerPockets  Community,I'm a contractor/consultant in Northern Virginia providing Home Automation (The Internet of Things - "Smart" devices), Security & AudioVideo design & installation services for both commercial and residential properties.

Keep in mind this 8% PM part is best case scenario. 14% is likely more realistic long run with lease up fees and service calls.

If 5 years passed and they bought back at FMV, not sure of the legalities in that.

Being a landlord is a service business.

There are certainly going to be some tried and true elements, but we believe as technology, culture, etc. change that so may business structures and practices.With all of that said, as brokers and agents, what service, support, and features are most valuable and most attractive to you in where you choose to do business?

I understand that this is state specific and i would DEFINITELY get legal advice before actually doing it but i was just curious if giving discounts to certain organization members is kosher with fair housing laws?

But as for the depreciation, it starts as soon as it was placed in service as a rental property.

We'll have a discussion on the real estate market cycle, trends in different real estate markets, various investment strategies, investing out of state, discuss multifamily investing, possibly plan investing in some multifamily deals together.Come if you've got capital to invest, if you have multifamily deals you're trying to raise equity for, if you're willing to share trends you're noticing in your business and would like to learn from other experienced investors.NO SERVICE PITCHESIf you plan to attend to pitch your services, please do not attend.  

Attention wholesale vets,Is Wholesaling (assigning) real estate legal or illegal in Washington state?

One of the ways I found could bring the deal back to the table is if I use one of the Flat Fee MLS listing services and save almost a full 3% in my side of the commission to an agent.
