But folks prefer newer and small yards (apparently).

As the economy rapidly deteriorates, banks will inevitably prefer to have larger cash reserves. 

Preferably someone who is familiar with VA law (this is where we intend to buy)? 

This has given many a very bad taste in their mouth against outsiders.

Would prefer property in King, Snohomish, Skagit, or Whatcom county.

@Zach MuellerI personally wouldn't buy a BRRR property that will lose money for a few years; I think you would be better off going the traditional route and buying your next home when you're ready to move in (preferably with a live in flip or something you can generate some sweat equity in).

Some markets have people you can afford to buy but prefer to rent.

Preferably a Canadian based firm that understands CAN tax laws. 3.

I prefer to have a security deposit that equals one month of rent, and a non-refundable pet deposit if $350.This tenant payed $350 for a security deposit back in 2011 and a $350 deposit for his dog the old lease doesn’t not say if it’s refundable if not.

I would prefer to work with an attorney that has investor experience.Looking forward to hearing from you.Thanks,Mike
