Just an FYI, generally when you look for "commercial" loans for Real Estate, people will think 5 units and above (for living). A big reason is state laws around lending; no matter what the reason, or who the borrower is, there are some strict laws around 1-4 unit residential property loans.

Thanks everyone 

Looking for some advice or feedback, as well as any lawyers familiar with what we have been told are the challenges of doing Reg D 506(b) and accepting Washington state based non-accredited investors. We are interviewing law firms now for this so if you have experience or know of one who has done this, would love to know. Thanks!

Great advice above. My add would be about waiting on your own house buy; focus on investment as I think Seattle home prices are still frothy. Besides, finding a home you love takes a lot of time, time better spent learning what you need for great investing. 

BTW, since we are both in the Seattle area, I would love to grab some coffee and chat more about what you want to do. 

IMHO, it would be risky at this stage of the market for appreciation to figure into any acquisitions you make in far out of urban or suburban areas (including the whole of Tacoma, Everett, etc). Historically, those areas declined the most during the last downturn. Second, demographics are changing with more people choosing to live in urban or urban like settings and forgoing longer commutes.
