Compared to other cities I deal with, Everett is quite nice.

It may not be ideal for some investors but you should find some more cost effective pricing there.

We seldom reach ideals, but we set our course by them.For what it's worth ...

The owner is willing to sell below market value, just waiting for offer from myself, he also notified me he would not be offended by a low offer but I'm not sure what to offer Market value $325,0004-bedroom, 3-bathroomYearly taxes of around $1,500•Ideal setting – just two blocks off Main Street, but on almost an acre (.97 ac)!

I understand the posturing, but as I deal in MFUs and not SFRs, the property vouches for itself and I don't need to jump through these hoops. 

Ideally I would like to find a mentor, someone who is willing to work with me so I can help build their business and to help build my own business as well.

Ideally, I would like to get my half of the cash as well and go reinvest it into a cash-flowing property, but am also willing to seller finance my half of the house (after we pay off my brother some how).

(He wont be beaten like in the movies.)There are too many folks out there that don't need to be land lords for reasons just like this, not having a good understanding of the rights of the tenant all for the sake of being in business.

I actually work as a Environmental Consultant full-time so I deal with these on a daily basis.  

Ideally you would find a company that has everything under one roof.
