@J. Martin thanks for the words of caution. I believe Washington state is stricter with some discrimination and fair housing laws so I'll be sure to look into local laws

Thanks for this post @Jay Hinrichs , I've also been reading through the responses you had to Logan Allecs forum post on investing in a 2-4 unit in So Cal. I'm also looking to buy a 2-4 unit in the Seattle area so your posts have been really helpful. 

Could you clarify on getting rid of tenants for any reason- I was under the impression you still have to follow their lease unless you plan to live in the unit they are occupying, in which case you can get them out sooner then their lease ends. For owner occupied, could you potentially get rid of all tenants upon purchase regardless of existing lease terms?

Thanks @Eric Gutierrez ! I have started speaking with a mortgage broker who said it is possible. Just a bit more work as I will need to provide college transcripts and write an explanation how my education was necessary from my current job. Glad to hear a success story!

I'm working on lining up financing for my first investment property. Looking at FHA, HomePath or other low down-payment options. 

Can anyone recommend an investor friendly mortgage broker? I've been speaking with a broker from Wells Fargo to start the pre-approval process but am wondering if there is someone I should reach out to who does a lot of work with investors and could be helpful in navigating me through my first loan. 

Thanks!
