However if you plan on buying 3-4units, there is a trigger rule for FHA, it is called the self sufficiency test.

The system should be tested and certified by professional every year, otherwise you may have fines and L&I can shot down the building. 

Sometimes a property I need to find again as it falls out of contract or is now a comp to a new listing.Let me know if you want additional feedback or help testing!

I watched a video that did live testing and mice can fit through holes smaller than a dime, and actually can fit through gaps even more easily.

But what I heard from this planner is that this is really just a test and that he feels it's possible -- and likely -- that the city will readdress the issue in a year or less.

If this is something you are interested in, mainly because less competition, you should test out one or two and see how it goes.

It might be a good idea to tie the site up as long as you can to get some soil testing and at least some preliminary drawings done by the civil engineer to see exactly what the site work costs will be. 

This year I ran a test and did 7 day minimum with no required checkin/checkout day for one property. 

FHA Stress Test (self sufficiency test) for 3-4 unit properties.

Truly appreciate any input.Thank you.We are testing Buildium right now.
