Early maintenance repairs were painful, but now doing well.

I’ve seen some potential rental properties close to uptown but it’s still so sketchy just a few blocks off the river.

That may be a much more painful expense for you than the seller, in this case.Not only do you have to get at least one of these people out, when you do, you still have two other tenants who need to be evicted!

She also said the other units on the block are cheaper and do not require a deposit.

One step further, go to H&R Block? 

If I would have hired the right coach in the beginning, I would have saved myself so much heartache and pain. 

Unfortunately, this owner above my unit is a pain to work with.

the future side of this is still an unknown quantity so its a risk that should be evaluated carefully.There are also several bills currently proposed in WA legislature which are likely to pass in some form or other which will substantially affect your situation - look at SB 5139 - "temporary" rent control   and SB 5160 - extending COVID protections for 2 YEARS past end of declared emergency,   payment plans based on "tenants ability to pay"  and blocking use of eviction and payment history in tenant screening  (!!!!) 

I live around the block and my actual home was also damaged, and my two tiny homes also flooded, so we've been dealing with a lot.
