If you are not planning on staying in Seattle, you should look into the option in the area you want to move to. 

I'd stay out of Shorline bc the houses/neighborhoods aren't much to look at and the traffic to/fro is often a nightmare (we call it Canada).

Unless you are an experienced sponsor/investor then I would stay away from this one.

I stay away from that area because I do not believe the population growth or job growth will support all of that development long term.

He could attempt to do a loan modification (loan mod) with the lender, though this would cut you out but would be great for him if his goal is to stay in the house. 

The seller and her lawyer sent us the contract and we got it back to them within a week with revision, and now the seller has had it for 3 weeks now.. with the Lawyer being on vacation for 1 week for his honeymoon. how long do i stay in this deal?

I just didn't trust that it would be that updated, and those lists really only are good for a short period of time.

Stay away from the bad areas-haha-and screen your tenants extra well.

Not $500 for the whole plex.If you go the $150 per door route stay at your job. 

Just an update for everyone following this thread - I ended up not purchasing any of the parks I had under contract.
