I would love to get a property in the NW DC that is run down, add additional floors and then make it an apartment building.

In addition, some states have different regulations tooI'm sure that someone that specializes in Insurance can give more insight into what is and isnt necessary or best for our properties.

My budget is in the $200-250K range.Please feel free to let me know if additional details would help, and thank you in advance for your time and advice! 

Additionally, Airbnb’s policies support hosts when guests do not comply with house rules.

@Jefferson Black- thanks - I am not aware of any lender that  will do a loan on an INV  manuf home property ...you might contact the local small to mid size credit unions and banks in your area ...you also might try the bank that you have  funds deposited at - good luck

For this I’ve taken the payment amount of the second loan and included it as an additional monthly expense.

I prefer to have the least amount of banks as possible.Create a bank account that you already have a relationship with(Credit card or mortgage)The least amount of bank accounts is also ideal.

Additionally, the supply of homes for sale is constrained because of this and will be for some time putting upward pressure on prices in most markets.Thinking about renting your house in Seattle would be wise as someone else will pay the mortgage down, and rents and the value of the property will go up over time.

After a few additional email interactions that same day, your DoC stated "I do not have an answer for you.

In addition I am giving him freedom to explore (to a certain extent) on my dime.
