I think sometimes people are afraid of ridicule as well.Like you, I believe that the whole community benefits from more responses.

-Christian Albright Hey Christian, I'm south of you in The Springs and had a hard time finding a good duplex/fourplex to house-hack because (just like Denver) the market is ridiculously competitive and there's a serious lack of inventory.

Ridiculous rumors!

It's been a bear trying to estimate repair costs because things here in Seattle are so danged high that prices are ridiculous to get any work done... if you can even get people to call you back.

How can one maximize cash flow if the property taxes are ridiculously high?

the prices here are ridiculous, and I dont have the time or experience to find and rehab something for buy hold that will be near cash flowing...SO. 

So if my cash-flow analyzer (a super-simple Sheets thing I made) shows positive cash flow of near $100 per month, I know things should work because the 50% rule is so conservative.Just my opinion, but if I see a property that looks likely to get to 7-13% cash on cash, I'm all over it.Unlike some folks, I'm not on the hunt for RIDICULOUSLY GREAT deals.

I would probably not buy a 10-20 space that had private utilities unless it was something ridiculous like a 100 cap. 

I think they are trying to tell me you pay for nov 1-14 on nov 15th which seems ridiculous to me.

man, that just seems ridiculously low compared to my area. a mobile like that would go for around 20k around here.
