Account Closed thanks for the response I'm  unfamiliar with "subject to" I'd love more details about it tho I wasn't aware of another route aside from a loan in buying property 

Do you take into account the expected rent of the unit you live in?

@Manolo D. and Account Closed.

In regards to the terms, I received a 30 year fixed mortgage with a 4.4% interest rate, at the time I got approved I was at solid 690- 700 credit score but my credit has grown since then.The home warranty is about $960-$1,100 annually which averages to about $83-$85 monthly, and covers just about everything in BOTH UNITS, the sweet part is my realtor fought for it to be paid at the closing by the seller, so I ended up getting the first year essentially for free.

From what I can read in the tax code it seems possible with the homestead exemption here:This annual exemption is available for “residential property that is occupied by its owner or owners as his or their principal dwelling place, or that is a leasehold interest on which a single family residence is situated, which is occupied as a residence by a person who has an ownership interest therein, legal or equitable or as a lessee, and on which the person is liable for the payment of property taxes

Can anyone tell me how much it is to keep a realtor license active annually in Washington state? 

If you can find a regular person with a ton of cash safely invested in 1.5-2% savings account, that's perfect.

This is handy if you have a specific email address that you use for one property but you want to handle all of your communication from another email account. 

Larger government laws overrule smaller ones.Anyway, this page from the Ohio bar says you can put it in the tenant's name: https://www.ohiobar.org/forpublic/resources/lawfac...It's sounding like "keep the water in the owner's name" is common practice people think is actually required.Edit: I'm obviously not giving anyone legal advice, I'm just an accountant raised by lawyers, so I'm persnickety about this stuff.

Account Closed Thanks for the laugh, actually I don't think we could get $1100 for rent, more like $950.
