Before someone gives an opinion, I would insist on discovering the fundamentals.  

If you insist to go at it alone, check out the Rental Housing Association of WA and join it.

My husband insists that we must acquire 40 rentals over the next few years so that in 10 to 15 years we can live off of cash flow and/or sell the properties and live off an annuity.

On the other hand, if the Federal government insisted on any role in this I'd have huge concerns.

The investor portion is whether a landlord should rent their property to an AirBNB host for a premium or insist only on primary residential usage.

I hope I don't see you all over these forums one day insisting you did it all by yourself and telling people who aren't as fortunate as you were that it's all about pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps no matter what your personal circumstances.

In addition to that, I am getting the tenant's address history from their credit report to see if there is any inconsistency; I will also contact any additional landlord found this way.Now, I don't just take the contact information that the tenant applicant has given, because the professional tenant will give contact for a friend who will serve as a "favorable reference " - I insist on getting the real information for the real landlord.

Mostly true - but you are required to disclose murders that happened in the home in MN.I had a listing once where the seller insisted house was haunted.

We have an nonconformist attorney client who insists on writing his own purchase agreements.We recently submitted a full price cash offer (with a few contingencies) to the listing agent who presented the contract to his sellers.However, the sellers are balking and we are having a hard time getting the property under contract because they think the buyer is up to something underhanded.  

Obviously, we are insisting that the seller take care of this however, I would love feedback on how you would go about it.
