Post: Landlord tenant attorney in Washington

I’m looking for a good landlord tenant attorney in Washington for leases, consults and keeping up with changing laws. It would be a plus if they are well versed in evictions. I don’t need that at the moment but want someone in the event I do.

It would be an added plus I’d they worked with short term rentals.

Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

@Colby Valladares I’m in Clark County and have had pretty good luck so far but it’s my first year.

My daughter and her significant other got 3 of them and they have had 2 biting issues with humans, 3+ within the pack (one is old) and 1 where they attacked someone else’s dog.

I don’t know how they escaped lawsuits and seizure of these Pit bulls but somehow they have.

The dogs are sweet most of the time but they require strong pack leadership, a ton of exercise and can be triggered suddenly and without warning. Because they are so strong, the damage they can do is intense.

Post: Refinancing a rental on 1099

I have a rental that is financed on a conventional loan at 5.65%. I was approached by the lender on another property to lower the interest rate to 3.31%.

I got all the way to appraisal and would not accept my income type of 1099. I just started contracting in May through an agency. I am literally doing the exact same job I’ve been doing but I now get paid more and cover my own insurances. I did incorporate.

Are there lenders that might offer a lower interest rate without charging thousands of dollars or am I stuck until I have 2 years of 1099 income?

I started my own business in May so I am not aware of any conventional loan options. I have a bit of cash for a small down, but I’d love to find a wholesale property using hard money, fix it up and refinance.

What would you advise as the best way to locate the wholesale property?

Hard money loans?

Are they any programs you’d recommend to learn how to do this?

Thank you!!!

@John Buffet if your IRA has a loan program, you can borrow against it and pay yourself back. Mine was prime plus one percent for a regular loan and amortizated over a longer period for a home

Purchase. Check with the terms of your investment plan.

@Scott Mac Dads hoarding won’t go away just because the stuff does. And getting the stuff out of the house will be really stressful. Trying to do a deal with him is probably not a great idea in my opinion.

@Jack Orthman I agree with you. I don’t think Blackrock is buying homes to make money. I think they are trying to possess as many homes as possible so they can make home ownership an obsolete concept and debt back to the general population, keeping them forever in debt.

It’s monopoly and part of a larger plan. Single family homes, farm land etc.

Personally, if I had more resources, I’d be buying as much as I could.
