Hello! I have a few rentals in the Seattle area and would like to rent my home out as a short term rental. Anyone in the north Seattle area that has good experience with Property Managers, either individuals, small businesses or companies? I’d like to avoid the big providers like Vacasa and I’ve spoken to many of the local companies. And leads would be appreciated, thank you! 

@Jason Johnson thank you very much for the recomendation, I'm checking them out. 

Hello. Getting close to closing on a rental property in Lynnwood, WA and would like some recommendations for legal review of a lease/other legal advice for setting it up. 

Also, if any locals have recommendations for a handy person I'd appropriate that as well. 

Thanks! 

Hi there, wondering if anyone has some thoughts on a best approach here: I am planning on moving, changing jobs and purchasing a duplex (primary residence, rent the other unit out) in the next 4-6 months. By making it the primary I'm able to get a bit better mortgage rate and keep it at 20% down (I'm also a landlord novice so I would be able to dip my toes in relatively easily instead of approaching it with an investment loan, etc.) 

However, the lender is going to want to see the new job's W2s and that I'm living in the space. The easiest solution is to wait to buy, move down and rent, establish the new job and then buy but I'm wondering if there is a work around so the timing is a little smoother/I don't have to move into a temporary rental. Is it possible to purchase now with my current job's proof of income and move in later? 

Thanks!
