Post: Condo / Townhouse Conversion in Washington

All jurisdictions are different. When you do a condo conversion, you need to establish an HOA and in this case you will need an attorney( @Scott Hildebrand)

In case of townhouses (and that's how it's done in Seattle), your surveyor can do pretty much everything that is needed as long as the City doesn't have additional requirements in terms of construction. You can contact Terrane Land surveying  (www.terrane.net). They are not the cheapest, but they know what they are doing and can do all necessary filing with the City.

@Ian Broadie, can you, please, reiterate why you need an attorney?

You need a surveyor, not an attorney first.

As a first step you need to confirm that your zoning allows zero lot line townhouses.

In Seattle it is referred as Unit Lot subdivision when you assign separate parcels to each building just for the purpose of sale.

As Adrian mentioned above, you definitely don't want to do condos due to liabilities. Just do fee simple townhouses.

We usually have tenants to maintain the lawn.

Join @Dima Suslikov at one of our extensive rehab / new construction projects in Admiral for a stogie & some drinks. Sine the project is being worked on, smoking inside is not a problem. However, if the weather permits, the roof-top deck will provide some great views of Seattle.

This is the event you don't want to miss! While I am still on vacation in Bali, @Dima Suslikov invited our friend, and a legendary local investor, Thach Nguyen to join at the workshop.

If you don't know who Thach is, here is a quick intro :

This is a real treat, as Thach is a wealth of knowledge on the subjects of Flips + Development!

You will have opportunity to ask your burning questions on those subjects, or any other Real Estate subject and may want to keep a notebook handy - as the knowledge that may be shared is not something you will find in any Real Estate book!

We will have a Group Order for Food available on the event page, so, check back a few days before the event if you'd like to order some food while at the workshop.

So, we just got some bad news. Unfortunately, Jimmy will not be joining the workshop tonight. Having just came back from his trip to Vietnam, has picked up a cold on the way back and said that he doesn't want to get anybody sick but will try to join us at upcoming workshops.
