I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this but here goes. So I'm originally from Cali, but as of late my family has been talking about moving to WA, specifically around Vancouver. My question is if I wanted to get my RE license would I be able to get my WA license while living in CA? Do I have to be a resident in WA to get my RE license? I've seen some RE courses and it's not to bad a price. Also I know you have to hang your license under a broker, or broker manager in WA. Does anyone have any insight into a good, cheap broker to hang my license? What is the best way to go about this? I plan on holding off on investing until I know I'm moving to WA, and just saving. I'm looking into finding a house for my family, and a duplex/triplex/quadplex to manage/live in. P.S. This is a 2 year plan and not one hundred percent set in motion yet. Thanks for any feedback!!!

@Account Closed Thank You so much for the reply!

The seminar was free to us as part of the NVPOA membership from our company. Mostly I think that they are really worried that it looks like things are headed in that direction. They didn't give any laws changing to my knowledge, but I could have missed it. They mentioned that the insurance company's are having to change their requirements because of the companion animals and for threat of a lawsuit by "discriminating" against someone with a prescription for a Rott-Doberman mix that just wants the dog.

Currently at our company we say if you have a "vicious breed" dog then we WILL call the medical professional to make sure they understand they understand they are going to be held accountable for this specific animal prescription being a "vicious breed". 

I am a fairly new property manager, so i'm not to clear on all the laws, but i will show that link to my management!

Again Thank You Everyone!

I'm fairly new to the BiggerPockets family, so sorry if this is the wrong forum, or if this has been stated in another post, but better to know twice than not at all right? Anyway, I attended a NVPOA Companion Animals/Fair Housing seminar last night, and they had mentioned that there are a lot of changes being made regarding Companion Animals and what Landlords can/cannot ask for. Some of which are: - No longer able to require the animal to be spayed or neutered. - No longer able to require a prescription by a Medical Professional. - No longer able to limit "vicious breeds" i.e. Rottweiler, Doberman, Pit-Bull, etc for a Companion Animals request. - The person with the need for a Companion Animal can get a recommendation from almost anyone, and Landlords are not able to deny that accommodation. Those are just a few, I know there is more I'm missing from my notes, but this gives a little more information to look into. As per the speaker at the seminar; however, we have 2 rights, or reasons, that we can deny Companion Animals: 1. If service/companion animals alters your way of business. 2. Running wild/threatening others.
