Appreciate the engagement!

First, are you confident that it's legal to rent the property by the room? 

I can go to 1 place and get this part of my life and business taken care of with confidence. 

We use the RHAWA lease agreement, if you are not a member of that organization or WLA, I would recommend you sign up.In the RHAWA lease agreement (not Seattle specific), it states that security deposit can be used all purposes including unpaid rent, damage, cleaning, late payment, utilities, keys and other charges.It is never a bad idea to pay for an hour of an attorney's time to go over any of these concerns and then you can be confident you are following the law.

If you're very confident interest rates will drop, this is probably they way to go. 

We're genuinely sorry to hear about your experience, but it seems there might have been some confusion or misunderstanding here.We always strive to ensure a positive experience for all who engage with us, and it’s disheartening to hear about any negativity that might be associated with our name, especially if there hasn’t been an actual connection.

My plan is to live in the house for about two years, possibly engaging in month-to-month house hacking during that time before transitioning to long-term renting.
