I'm personally liking Everett, Marysville, Bremerton, and parts of Lynnwood & Renton, etc these days.And remember HB 1217 just went into effect limiting rent increases to 7% + CPI or 10% total, whichever is less. 

Huge property tax relief bill signed into legislation that will raise the homestead exemption by 40% including - Homestead exemption increased to $140,000- Exemption for seniors and disabled Texans raised to $200,000- Business personal property tax exemption expanded to $125,000https://www.kxan.com/news/texas/gov-abbott-signing-10-billio...

I am thinking about organizing a master class at Foxwoods casino with a field trip to distressed homes to sole this challenge.would wholesalers be willing to spend $500 to strengthen their numbers and increase their credibility?

I will say with the increased HOA and/or insurance costs over the last few years, the numbers are tough to work in Florida.  

I will require 2 months of rent from you to make up for my losses/increased costs if the sale falls through. 

I think there is a huge amount of people that are indifferent about AI & equally a large amount that swear by it...AI can greatly increase the ability for agents to create ads, save on money & time.

Even with a HELOC, you’re still increasing your leverage and now putting your home at risk if the deal goes sideways.

If the property finally starts to appreciate the seller will have zero motivation to work with instead of taking the property back and selling again. 3) don’t forget your payment will increase as taxes and insurance will increase. 4) do you have a plan if the bank calls the loan due?

I attribute to the general increase in demand for the Oregon Coast and in particular affordable and developable coastal properties. - Short term rentals statewide have an increasing barrier to entry.
