Our city holds a lot of hidden gems.

So let me see if I can contribute anything that might help you....First, I would ask yourself if you want to hold a rental property in Seattle...? 

Hey Natalie if you're set on holding onto the property I have a great property manager I use for my STR's that also will cover MTR and LTR's.

@Jerry ZigounakisIs the proposed entity supposed to hold title to the real properties? 

Investment Info:Condo buy & hold investment.

Rental income is subject to tax, but it is also possible to deduct many costs related to owning and maintaining rental property, including property management fees, repairs, and mortgage interest payments.Additionally, for those investors holding properties in Germany for the long-term, the country's capital gains tax law is attractive.

@Jonathan Bombaci recommend using that amount as a bargaining chip for lower rates.80% of evictions are wash, rinse, repeat. 

At a minimum, she can open a dispute and if they haven't already processed the charge it will hold it up while it's investigated.  

I’d also love market suggestions and ideas regarding how to connect with others in the REI space outside of the events that BP holds.

It's simply factual:  you violated the lease by smoking, stop it, remove the resulting odor and that a repeat action could result in eviction and loss of security deposit.
