Thank you for all your concerns and suggestions.

But, I wonder if being an city-approved Airbnb host with a legit registration # is enough grounds to stand on legally if an Airbnb client reports/sues me because of, I don't know, a medical injury because of hitting their head on the short ceiling (even if I disclose info about the ceiling upfront on the listing).

It all sounds too good to be true, so I am wondering if anyone else has explored "Roam"?"

Does that seem like a good approach or do you have other suggestions?

Just ask a lender if you can do the project as tenants in common with 3/4 and 1/4 ownership with you being a non-occupant co-borrower as @Joseph Chiofalo suggests. 

Hello, I am wondering what everyone thinks about owning a (long-term) rental home in the Salmon Creek are in Vancouver, WA 98686. 

I am wondering if now is the right time to involve a zoning attorney to review these documents.

To save cost and headache I suggest to keep your property and his property out.

I would not venture beyond your skill set and suggest you risk harming yourself, such as getting electrocuted, however, once you have completed your work, have it inspected with the local building inspector.

Would prefer to invest instead of own the home I live in.I've have had it suggested that to get started, I should buy a property that is under 100k in cash.
