The fact that Seattle is very hostile to landlords right now (various existing regulations) and would pass rent control tomorrow if it were legal statewide  (wait for next WA legislative session... we will almost certainly get something like what OR has and CA is getting) should be foremost on the minds of anybody looking to take advantage of this as well.

A large medical district, major tourism attractions and the center of state legislation. 

I hear a lot of conflicting opinions about being both an agent and a wholesaler.What is the legislation?

Also, you should consider the pending legislation on rent caps, rent freezes, etc....Other than that, the same work and opportunities are available in CA for apartments.

First off, I am still uncertain of the required time that I occupy the home.

I find it a waste of time to worry about legislative proposals until they become law.

Additionally, they advocate for landlords both with the legislator and bring legal challenges against the cities and state for regulatory overreach.Beyond that, you can also join local groups on Facebook & Meetup.com. 

Why bother with the tax law, the horrible court process, and the anti-landlord legislation.

In other words, when people are uncertain about our future, they seek security by investing in gold.

This is the kind of legislation that adds insult to injury in tough times for land lords and developers.
