Shout out to permit professionals like Roy Hasson (just a friend in LA specializing in navigating permit process - this is not a business play we do not work together), who are dedicated to helping others and will likely develop similar resources to support their communities through the rebuilding process.If you’re working on rebuilding efforts or have questions, feel free to connect with me—I’d love to collaborate.

The owners became friends with the tenants and do not feel comfortable raising rents on their friends. 

Makes me feel more powerful  Guess what guys…I have an update call scheduled with Tom this coming Tuesday.

I do not have many resources, but I am comfortable taking some risk and relying on my intelligence and research.

Feel free to reach out if you have any advice for a newcomer or if you're also investing in the Kirkland area!

In my experience, allowing these professionals to guide you can be highly beneficial, as they are likely to recommend properties they would be comfortable managing.

I like using these for just this case.Another item to consider is since this is a 2nd floor I wouldn't be that worried since the 1st floor will heat the 2nd floor enough to not allow frozen pipes.I would also talk to an HVAC person because I believe they can also put a device to cycle the heat a few times a day or even put a secondary thermostat in the apt to take care of the minimum issues.I feel for you because otherwise you have a great tenant.

Feel free to message me separately.

That's just a brief summary, but I feel like there's not as much buzz and excitement around this law as there should be.

Feel free to reach out if you want to connect, I have some people I've JV'd with in the Texas triangle.
