I’m getting ready to make my next move in 2025 and I’m contemplating on staying here and buying a multi family property as an investment out of state (only an hour away) which would be a lot less capital and have a lot more land lord friendly laws or buy another multifamily as a primary residence locally and hack that property I’m single and live alone.

As a new owner, you should confirm if you can raise the pricing on the rent, and do that accordingly to the laws.

If it’s not required by law, you might ask why it’s being done now and if there are alternative ways to address the concern.Going forward, consider setting a clear spending threshold with your property manager.

I would believe so, but it is always good to check the local laws.

I agree 15 years is not a long time but what is occurring is jurisdictions then pass laws to protect the low cost housing.  

Investors who have absolutely NO CLUE as to what they invested in, no clue as to the STRUCTURE of the deal, and no clue as to the safety or risk of their investment.

.: Quote from @Charles Perkins: Washington law gives tenants the option of paying the security deposit over several months depending on the lease term length. 

I'll work on reviewing my state laws & getting something like that into my lease. 

Check your local/state law.

Same thing as Bankrate for example they use a very specific model to price those rates and scenarios like 740 Fico, 70LTV, 15 year term and the APR is never really talked about when it comes to margin and points charged.So when your fico score, LTV, loan size or DTI deviates from that very specific loan scenario then they say in all websites required by law "rates are subject to change" hint hint!
