Not sure if that's any different from a co-signer.

You mentioned a permit to buy a CO.

Depends if you are looking to be a co-host (as listed above) or a full service PM.As a PM we list the property (on 15 sites, not just Airbnb) and we handle all the communication, maintenance, cleaning, reporting, etc.

One was from a co-signer, not the tenant (that's one of the reasons to get a co-signer for weak applicants).

Can they even get a CO in your jurisdiction without owning the property, or might it become a headache for you even if they comply? 

You can get a co-signer then once you get a full-time job once you get out of school, you can refinance to take their liability off their minds.2.

I live in the Auburn area with a co-working space in Tacoma. 

If not, sound's like needs a co-signor, like parent's maybe. 

If we had a post of the day that would be it.I will add to that....find 20 people who say they  will invest with you..not hard money lenders..but as a co-member  in an LLC with you..it will need some book keeping $$ and a yearly tax return as well as statments, and etc...$ you or you partner will have to pay that until the deal comes in as profits.

The reason I’m asking is because I’m talking about doing a partnership with a co worker and he seems awfully concerned about what the county appraised a property at, yet I hadn’t put too much thought into it when I bought my house hack.
