Make sure you know how to screen properly and have a solid lease that covers the normal Tenant issues (rent, deposit, noise, etc.) but also stuff that is unique to a roommate situation (shared common space, parking, noise, etc.).It has potential to be a great opportunity if you are prepared.

I like the unique way you found the deal and got into it as a renter.

Unless its a fairly unique attorney in CA that would know deals in Texas..

locals cant do it.. why not.. whats so unique that you cant get it done.. is it minimum of 6 months interest and you want to only pay for the money for the days out ??

Seattle's a bit unique since it has been the highest appreciating market in the country (double-digit appreciation rates) in a long time, so even when the market flattens it can feel like a crash (especially for those who continue to expect the appreciation). 

Also, not sure if there are any tax implications uniquely pertaining to DC or Maryland regarding the occupations and/or investments in Real Estate.

The one I went for is unique in that it has different sizing for each unit.

Of coarse there are unique challenges and yeah it’s not going to to appreciate .
