Sorry, it's a bit too far south for me.  King and Pierce County is enough to keep me busy for now.  Thank you for thinking of me.

Hello, @Jake DeAtley .  Here's a very nice 4-plex (two duplexes on one parcel) that is in a nice neighborhood in Yakima.  Let me know if it is of interest, or what price range you're interested in.  I currently manage almost 700 units altogether between Yakima, King, and Pierce Counties.  http://www.flexmls.com/share/10vuQ/2708EnglewoodAveYakimaWA98902

Thanks for the mention @Julian Buick  I hope you're doing well these days.  We've missed you since you moved away.

I have a full-time, permanent position available in Seattle, WA.  It requires four 10-Hour Days (Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday) from 8am to 6pm.

The position mostly entails answering phone calls, emails, and LiveChat inquiries from prospective tenants, current tenants, and property owners.  It typically includes one open house showing each day for which you area also reimbursed for any mileage necessary.

You may work from your home in Seattle, or from our office in Seattle.  

I am using Equity Trust at myequity.com for my self-directed IRA accounts. I've found them to be very helpful.

I agree with @Jay Hinrichs very much regarding Yakima being a good place to find cash flow but having to be very careful with tenant selection.  I'm currently managing a 4-plex in Tacoma for @Amy Greger.  She just purchased it recently, so you might ask her about her purchase and cash flow.

If your Purchase & Sale Agreement state all the units must be leased up for $1,295, then I would make sure that contingency is being met.

If the seller is not able to perform, then you have some very good leverage to negotiate a lower purchase price in order to take on the additional risk and costs associated with a vacancy and an eviction.

We are a large and growing real estate property management firm headquartered in Yakima, with a branch office in Seattle. We are looking to add the position of General Manager to our Yakima office.

As a General Manager you will oversee a firm with over $4M in annual budget, over 600 properties, and about 175 owners. You will be responsible for communicating with owners, hiring and managing office staff, and making improvements to the business by implementing your ideas.

As a former Hotel General Manager for a Marriott Hotel and current Managing Broker for two Real Estate Firms, I would love to find someone with either excellent Hotel or Real Estate management experience.

Screening tenants is the single most important thing a landlord needs to do in order to prevent an extremely costly eviction or expensive damage to their homes.  Restricting a landlord from being able to decide who they want to let in to their home is an overreach by the government.  

Businesses should be able to hire whomever they feel is the most qualified job applicant, and landlords should be able to rent to whomever they feel is the most qualified rental applicant, even if the most qualified applicant was not the first qualified applicant.  The only restriction should be; not discriminating against protected classes.

Hello @Sareh Yegh

I currently manage over 620 homes and apartments in Yakima.  I also have 5 Realtor's working in my brokerage for me.  What are you looking for?

For Quickbooks:  Set up each tenant as a "Customer" and each owner as a "Vendor".  Enable and use "Classes".  One class for each property.   Use an IRS Schedule E Form as a guideline for a Chart of Accounts.  If you match up your Chart of Accounts to the exact same Income and Expense names that the IRS uses, it will make filing your tax return much cleaner and easier.
