White Center is one of the final neighborhoods with a Seattle addres that still borders on affordable.

The numbers in many unrealistic pro formas (those that aren't bordering on fraudulent) are technically accurate at the time of the listing;  however, since vacancies will occur at every property and maintenance will be needed for every property the pro forma numbers may not be accurate for very long. 

You will generally find that almost everywhere, including unincorporated counties that house urban cities, rooming houses or border loging is specifically prohibited OR includes specific permit regulations like obtaining a Conditional Use Permit.

(assuming I can make it past the border guards and the barbed wire fences)10 year goal- To infinity, and beyond! 

First issue-the fee turns a cash flow positive property into negative if you're on the border, which I usually am. 

That borders on ethnic discrimination to me.

I'd want to talk with the tenant about it before deciding anything, it could be stuff that's been left by the previous (now deceased I assume) owner, or previous tenant(s).  

Yes be in contact with current tenant and deceased parents and let them know you'll assist in helping as how they see fit.give current tenant the option of adding roommate to lease, and I wouldn't forgive any rent due or coming due.

Be aware of where you are buying South of Market and South of Exchange is an even bigger border to cross.

You might have to go east towards Santee or way south near the border.
