Hello Bigger Pockets Community,

I am planning on renting out my property (3 bed 2.5 bath home) in Federal Way, WA (greater Seattle area) and wondered if anyone in the community had any Rental Application and Lease Agreement templates that are compliant with WA state and Seattle area law that they could share with me? Thanks for the help and guidance in advance.

Hi Rhonda,

Thanks for the response! So I am looking into this because I am purchasing  an investment property in the Knoxville area for Buy and Hold and the appraiser came back with a market rent that is lower than I believe is accurate and is very low. In order to get the proper loan from my lending property I need to prove that the rent in the area should be higher and they have requested comps for rental properties that are currently occupied. 

hi,

I am looking for knoxville TN area realtors to help me out finding some rental comps for 3 bed 2 bath houses in the area. I am, however, looking for homes that have actually been rented so that I can realistic comparables. Thanks for the help!

I am curious about occupancy rates for Short Term Rentals in the Austin Market. What is the average occupancy for anybody doing this in the area?

Hi @Nathan Platter - meant to directly mention you in the above reply. sorry.

hi @Nathan Platter ,

First of all thank you. These are 2 very good bits of information. To follow up I have a few questions and replies. 

1. You are correct, I do not intend to owner-occupy.

2. How common is it for sellers to agree to finance the house directly to the buyer? This sounds like a very good option, but I would like to get a little bit more information on the ins and outs of this

I am new to real estate investing and am trying to understand exactly how to finance my first deal on an investment property. I would like to invest in property hat I can rent as a short term rental,  but want to find a creative way to finance the 20% down. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks.
