My kids do love monopoly, and I think it changes your perspective on things, but are there other games as well?

Additional units will add a HUGE layer of risk that will be accounted for during underwriting with this scenario as you are very clearly purchasing the home in WA with the intention of renting it out for cash flow (that's not a primary residence, but an investment).Personally, I would advise you to do this as a second home transaction, as the second home scenario makes a lot more sense to me from an underwriting/guideline perspective.
