The short plat process can be quite time consuming.We have worked with many real estate professionals over the years some great and others that were one offs.

Does anyone in the Seattle are have the process for converting the single utilities into two? 

Permit just expired but I am to submit a certificate of occupancy application, I have the ez sign form as well but kind of stuck on the whole process.

Here are some tips for networking and making the most of your account. 1) I'd fill out your profile fully before you do anything else!

Does anybody know about the process to convert a grandfathered duplex to an SFH + ADU?

I was wondering if anybody has gone through this process and is willing to share any tips or resources they have use to make the process easier?

@Lesley Stoll I would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have surrounding the 1031 exchange process.

I'd start the process of non-renewal, notice to vacate and eviction if needed. 

I think its going to just take some time for the end buyers in the chain (the people responsible for buying the MBS through the whole process - generally banks, insurance cos, pension funds) - by nature are very conservative and slow to adopt to new things like SRO.Its a tough situation because the message a lot of times ends up being "rent it out traditionally on a single lease since thats more conservative" yet they are out of touch with investors who can only cash flow in this current environment with creative solutions such as rent by room, etc.

@Anita AinsworthIf you decide to go with a public adjuster, that will almost asuradly add time to the process.
