Unpermited 2nd Dwelling, Washington State

[Eddie Aviles]

I am looking at a 3/2 house that is well taken care of that I am looking to house hack, if the price is right.

It has a 2nd dwelling that is a 2/1 with its own kitchen/laudry and so forth. However, previous owners built this without having it permitted.

I would be living in the second dwelling while renting the main house for the first year (FHA loan). I would then like to rent out the 2nd dwelling for the cash flow. Are there any thoughts on renting out this unpermitted 2nd dwelling after the year. I am currently doing research on this wherever possible before submitting an offer.
