From what i’ve heard about New York, California, Washington and Seattle is that these states are very pro tenant, so be very careful about buying something before you speak with an attorney who knows what they are doing!!! 

I have asked for a lien waiver (the Property is in WA state), and he is not responding to me.

This is located in oak harbor WA on Whidbey Island if that is pertinent for calculating a deduction just a general idea would give me a huge help at least would be a starting point the rent is higher than a lot of similar apartments however as I stated it's on property but the lack of kitchen almost cancels out the benefit of the setting.

The address is 5456 31st Ave Sw, Seattle WA

I am open to investing in multi-family houses not only in California but also in the nearest states (AZ, NV, or WA). 

I think Long Beach Washington has the least expensive direct ocean front in America today. for those not familiar its about an hour north of Astoria Oregon and as the name would suggest its one of the longest beaches on the West coast.

New York City allows members of the public to have roommates in both single-family homes and in apartments, provided that these roommates maintain what is known as a 'common household,' meaning they share the livable space of the dwelling unit," Under the NYC Administrative Code, no more than three unrelated roommates can occupy a dwelling unit and maintain a common household, which means you can take on one or two roommates.
