Inslee has destroyed a bunch of small LLs in the past 6 months. I hope he pays for it.
I made $2M + in residential in less than 5 years, sold, 1099'd, rolled the profits into safe commercial deals with iron clad tenants. 2008/09 came along. I ended up stroking the banks $50,000 in cash and walked away "unscathed". All my eckities, gone. Just gone. Not a CSB.

Minus rents(which are high risk) the market pays more per year in returns than property.
All real estate is local. If you can buy and hold properties in markets that will appreciate you’ll get rich. But in so many markets, there’s no appreciation after inflation is accounted for.
I don't worry about appreciation as long as the tenants are buying and maintaining the building for me.
I hear ya. It’s just not for me. I’d rather just buy my primary residence in and invest other capital elsewhere. At least I’m not paying someone else’s mortgage so that’s a good thing.

That was doable back then. I had buddies who retired in their early 40's during that time.
I also had buddies who had negative net worth for a couple years, and other than their spoiled-rotten cunt wives divorcing them and taking their primary residences, bounced back better than ever within a couple years, realizing that they'd have been way better off if they'd dumped the non-working witch many years before.
Which all goes to say that most women don't and never will understand where money comes from. They just want it.

It's not risk free. I'm dumping my Seattle properties ASAP. I'd rather chase out meth-heads East of the mountains than deal with the protected class of Seattle trash that digs into the floor boards and has the government protecting them from eviction, even though most are working.
Fuck Socialism. It's already here and doing irreparable damage.

You aren’t dumb. You’re actually thinking ahead. The landlord business is still very profitable over time once you consider the free equity you build through rent payments. However...that will soon change. Once more and more states implement rent increase caps and more and more tenant friendly eviction policies, the residential landlord business will dry up. Commercial will still be the way to go, but it’s difficult to have the funds to go right into it. You might have to be part of a partnership first.
It will actually be a great time in the near future to buy a vacation home. As the residential landlord business falters, the housing prices will as well. Opening up a great opportunity to purchase a secondary beach house, lake cabin, farm cottage, or a mountain getaway, at a better price.

Thats my hope and my goal. Buy that beach house in a couple years and rent out my country home in Arlington. Working at a grocery store I have access to a bunch of twenty and thirty somethings that would be very interested in renting a house with property where they can garden, have a big dog, build a bon fire, blow off fireworks, shoot guns, or nestle in next to the wood stove on a cold winter night while paying a little less than they do for their shitty apartment in Everett or Lynnwood. When the housing market rises again after that, I sell the Arlington house and pocket the cash. I'm with Yellow, I don't want to be a landlord for long. Just long enough for the market to crash and rebuild.

Arlington shits on Everett and Lynnwood, just like Seattle shits on Kent, Tukwila and Federal Way.
Some things never change. Everyone shits on the South. Ever since the Civil War.

What are you, my father-in-law? He's always saying "Why don't you sell those places and just invest in the market?"
I tell myself he doesn't get it. But he's probably right, 'cause he's worth a lot more than me.
If you have good and reliable tenants it can be super lucrative, plus the bank allows you to leverage a low interest loan to invest, which you can't do with the market.
It only takes one shitty tenant to erase all your gains though and possibly worse.

Ask yourself: what would Michael Corleone do in this situation of having a non-paying squatter in one of his properties?

Basically my plan. The Seattle house is paid off. I'm breaking ground on a very nice Chelan house (I already own the dirty) and will float that myself on current income. Last of the munchkins is graduating college this spring, and the Creep is all of a sudden very liquid again.
I will also inherit an island place in warm weather climes. Winter there, Summer/Fall in Chelan, and have someone pay me through the ass to live in my Seattle place.
Despite what you're all saying, I know more people than I can count who have been saying "San Francisco is going to hell in a hand basket" for 20+ years. And, still, property values there and in surrounding communities have gone up exponentially in that tim. Seattle is not goign to burn up and blow away. It just won't!!!
While I can intellectually acknowledge that Cali is paradise lost and all the things that make it so, unlike 99% of people, I've never had any pull towards it. The culture isn't me, either in the north or the south. I'm more of an east coast animal at heart and vibe better back there. So my west coast is best coast self likes the PNW, and that's where I'll anchor because that's where the grandkids will be. But I want to winter elsewhere than in the west, even though that doesn't make a lot of sense.
