Hi @Daniel Harvey,

I am a Vancouver investor/realtor.

Are you looking for buy and hold deals? They are pretty hard to find around here but some do come up. Message me what you are hoping to find and I will let you know what I find. 

I don't know the Tacoma area very will but if you want me to put you into contact with an agent up there if you want. 

What do you think of the video and how would you handle it in Vancouver, WA?

Hey @Sherman Croydon, what brings you into the real estate world?

Hi @Josh Gold, I am a local realtor so let me know if you have any questions. 

What are you charging for property management?

As in most questions, it depends on your situation? 

It is a big benefit if you don't have cash saved up. 

The benefit is $0 down deal but the draw back is the mortgage insurance which can kill cash flow.

You can always refinance to get rid of the mortgage insurance in the future. 

Hey @Mason Keeler, Sounds like a good plan. 
I just did a 203k flip and am now in the process of refinancing to a conventional loan. 

Let me know if you have any questions.

@Tyler C., How are things going for your 8 months later?

Hey @Dan Mitchell, That is exactly what I did.

I bought my duplex with FHA Rehab loan and lived in one of the units. It is a great way to get started.

Let me know if you have any questions.

@Donica Pol, I don't think it matters either. I used Trainagents.com and then when I interviewed brokerages none of them asked where I took my classes.

As long as you pass the test it doesn't matter as the state/federal test does not really teach you much about actually being an agent. I also passed the first time but not sure how the company does compared to others.

I just use one phone and have the tenants phone number so I know who it is like @Rich Vogel does.

If you feel the need for another number you could use google voice.
