But the actual impact in the long term we don't know yet, but what it seems so far is that it's not good for older tech or older management in tech field if they are not agile enough.

@Scott Jean Philippe, Usually the rate difference from personal FTHB to investment loan is about .5%. as it has been re-iterated here, you can capitalize on the fact that this can count as your first home and lock in that lower rate. 

More about me - I started a year ago in REI and I read a lot of books and papers on remote RE investing, demographics movement across US, asset protection + listened to every single podcasts + analyzed 100s of properties and then created a system or framework for investing after many iterations.

What you may find can surprise you or can be discouraging, however, it is imperative that a logical, calm, and deliberate path is laid out that is agile in nature in order to minimize or maximize losses or gains respectively. 

Apply the 80/20 pareto principle - but after several iterations - not 80/20 but 96/4 or even 99/1.While working a full time job, I bought two SFR in 2013 and continue to grow up to 12 properties (13 units) in 2017.   

We have active investors in our company who hold us to standards of service and success--our resources are 100% focused on iterating and improving our product and while I won't say it's perfect now, I firmly believe we are on a track to set a new, higher, standard of service in the property management industry.To your point on the law for WA state contractor warranty--you may be correct in that but I just checked with some of our vendors in the area and it seems that for small maintenance or touch-up projects, there is no warranty length required by law.

Through constraints and availability and life "created" our business plan.Honestly I love our agile family homes.

I just want to re-iterate that regardless of sex, anyone is capable of teaching to and learning from others. 

What kind of deal was it?

I've see 1st month + 1 month security deposit, 1st month + last month + one month security deposit as well as other iterations in between.What does everyone here use as their policy?
