Hi there,I am a dual US/Australian citizen who resides in Australia with my US citizen wife.

So it sounds like the best answer for *me* is to write a dual letter of notice of non-renewal (with wording to allow for default to month-to-month, which is what happens in Washington, from what I am reading in the statutes) along with a 3-month notice to increase rent.That will give them the 90-days required notice on rent increase & hopefully stop any potential sudden "complaints" that would bar me from non-renewing the lease (Washington statutes seem to say if there is an open "complaint" about a rental, you can't evict or non-renew or it's considered retaliation).You know, the more I write, the more I just want to get her out, sell, and buy 3 or 4 cheap properties......I love real estate and rentals, but when it's your OWN home.....ugh.

Regardless of who pays any fees, if a contract is made, usually in those states requiring dual agency, that agent will then need to proceed as a dual agent as the seller is not represented and the agent can only represent the buyer when there is representation for the seller.

Going unrepresented is much different than using the listing agent as a dual agent.

There are dual control issues and reasons for the seperation of duties.

The crazy loans and free money combined with the expectation that the move from single income households to dual income households was a trend as opposed as a one time event. 

Hi @Michael Mastantuono, finding an agent on the buy-side is almost always worth it.Some very experienced investors use the listing agent with dual representation to win the deal but if you do not have a ton of experience, use a local broker.Hope this helps!

Perhaps some home office space will become a big feature in the residential rentals.in our new construction coming up we have a few plans that have Casita's this is the Portland Or market.. were Casita's were not that common like in the desert.. but I can see them having a dual purpose based on companies allowing workers to work at home your casita is now your office still at your home but separate from the family flow..

The two of us potentially could have dual citizenship.
