Hi Lawrence,I'm not from WA, but I've never heard this as a pure zoning.

- new item not the same quality as the old item, so maybe you're being charged for the higher quality item that was in there before (pure speculation on my part as you don't give enough info on that item.Window blinds - again, what was broken was a higher quality than your replacement?  

If you turn that solution (back) into a problem, there goes your profit.That's not emotion - it's pure logic.David J Dachtera

But every tenant I add is pretty much pure profit.Also, I would say that I somewhat agree with their assertion that they are selling based on the size of building not current income.

We see these threads often and for the most part the responses are pure BS.

Your goals should be purely financial in the end, based on your personal financial needs.  2 - Don't focus on properties...focus on needs.Problem #2:  Saying you "failed" because you didn't get a property yet, with all the offers you made. 

It is based solely off of having the pure cash at the moment of want to purchase, which is why you stated to get a loan from somewhere else like someone in my network (i.e. friend/family)?

No, for a primary you'd probably do FHA, for a pure investment probably 20%+ down2.

But as for option 1 versus 2, be careful as looking at them as purely numbers.  

My goal is to create a comfortable environment were your true self-comes out... not the person that feels they have to impress everyone.I have some general ideas about its direction:- Purely Networking and sharing ideas, not a space to pitch at people like some other events- Relaxed environment- Free meetings- Some type of media integration- The goal is to connect good, high-quality people- Meet once a month for several hours- The group would not act as a business as some other RE groups or meetups (no memberships, paid classes, etc)If this is something you would be interested in and feel that there is a need for this please let me know and give me feedback!
