@James C. Thank you so much for taking the time to provide such a generous response.  Your thoughts align with my own values as I want to create trusted relationships. And, I'm not into 'get quick' anything.  Thank you again for giving me much to think about.

Any tips on investing and managing rentals in neighbourhoods that are predominantly non-English speaking?

Do I need to provide bi-lingual documents?

Legally, where is the burden of communication, me or the tenant?

Eventually, I’d like to hire a bi-lingual assistant, not just for me, but to make it easier for my tenants, but right now it’s just me. 

 I work in Quincy and live in East Wenatchee. It's a bit of a ride to Yakima but I really want to connect with investors in Central WA.

I really loved this observation and reading the responses. I'm new to landlording and real estate investing. My take on this is that to be able to provide housing for people I need to pay the bills and that means the tenants need to pay their tent. I don't want to end up like George Bailey and be nearly bankrupt.  Thank you for this thought-provoking post. .
