I have a house for sell located in Yelm, WA. I need to find an agent who specializes in this area. If anyone is confident in helping me get the most value out of the house,( Staging, photographing) Please contact me through text message at (206) 596 6756.

Background :

I have a tenant who has been renting out one of my properties in Seattle for 6 years now, he was late on rent during the pandemic and the late rent still carries now. (roughly about $10000). Although he has been paying an extra $300 monthly, it is not consistent. I am also paying for this property's utility fees. The lease agreement expired a long time ago and I didn't renew one for a very long time. 

Things I want to do now :

I want to hire an attorney to draft a lease agreement for me with the terms of up-to-market rent and repayment plan, as well as transfer the utilities in the tenant's name. I know that raising rent in Seattle needs a notice 6 months prior. In this situation, how can I draft a lease agreement that will give me advantages?

I am open to any advice, if any property manager or attorney thinks they can help, reach me at (206) 596-6756 and send me a text. Thank you!

I have a condo that has been rented out for about 7 years. The tenant was paying rent on time every month until COVID, he has been late on rent for about $10000 and now he is becoming more and more hard to deal with.  I recently asked him to start paying for his utilities, and he refused. Right now I want to hire a property manager to take care of this property so I don't have to deal with tenants. 

I am open to every advice and please reach out to me if you think you will be able to help me solve this problem. Thank you!

I am currently just starting out with investing. Have been reading books and watching videos to gain knowledge on investing. 

I have wanted to get into real estate investing for a long time now, after finishing reading the book ( Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner), I have gained tremendous interest in real estate investing. 

I have tons of questions about this topic and would like to gain real-life experiences with experienced investors. It would be best if I could find a mentor in my local area (Seattle WA). I am open to any feedback from anyone. Thank you!
