It reinforced that being proactive, detail-oriented, and solution-focused isn’t just helpful, it’s essential for keeping properties running smoothly and owners stress-free.

@Benjamin Louie Criterias are : cash flow/market appreciation/good schools/family oriented for SFH rental/economy like big business in the area

No one ever reports it.Only one small pee mess on the living room rug.

Demand in Bellevue/Redmond is strong due to tech and corporate travel, while Sammamish is more seasonal/family-oriented.3.Single-family homes (without HOAs) usually work best, especially if they have a guest suite or ADU for privacy.I’d run both long-term and short-term rental numbers before buying to see which makes the most sense.

Don't know.Context:- My impression of RE agents in Portugal is that they aren't very investor orientated and after trying to comply with your criteria for a few showing they switch to their normal offering (that usually doesn't cashflow and/or make ROI sense).- I usually use the site I gave you to get a general view of the market and monitor it's evolution (you can tag properties).

That makes sense, EOS breaks down the year into quarters then the quarters into quarters to maintain goal orientation. set a 90 day goal, then track inputs to reach that goal.

Ideal for newer investors needing less CapEx risk.I totally get the instinct to go back to familiar territory, but your first OOS deal should be about stability, scalability, and setting the tone for everything that follows.Michigan might feel like home, but there are markets out there that are more investor-friendly, scalable, and growth-oriented, without the tax or regulatory headaches.Happy to always share more if you're exploring any of the above areas. 

The rugs, wall paper and some cabinets are outdated and it looks like it was a bed and breakfast years ago.
