Are you prepared for the work, time, effort, sleepless nights, humility, and gray hair?!?!

Well, there's always Bitcoin :D.Seriously though - as much as I hate the hair-brained and pandering policies Seattle City Council and other similar governing bodies, I think we as landlords tend to blow the eviction thing out of proportion.

Mine is usually just a hair under market. 

It's like someone who wants a REI coach, but only wants them to be nice and affirm all of their ideas.

(a health, environmental, public nuisance and waste, liability among others issues,)Even if the lease doesn't directly disallow a business from R-1 there will be in contract something addressing tenant's responsibility to protect the landlord property , not creating waste, commit public nuisance, or damage.I would have no problem to a good, responsible tenant for use the residence address for ex. handyman or plumber since he does not physically conduct his business from the home, and all his tools might be in his truck or rented storage, but I still would make sure that I am not being liable for loss, damage to his tools...and request he has a rental insurance, compliance with city regulations.Conducting online seminars is not the same as doing a hair extension, or running car repairs shop from R-1.  

I bought my first property as owner-occupant for a hair under 55k in Syracuse.

From reading these comments, it looks like I'm not alone.I guess it's like how I don't do my hair and make-up for my husband during quarantine, taking people for granted is human nature!

I'm okay with that outcome.Would it have been better for me to go in all hair brained and without enough capital to responsibly cover my rear end if something went wrong?

Your post affirmed we did the right thing.Best, Kevin
