I haven't given up on WA despite new statewide tenant protection rules as I've already been dealing with worse from seattle,   but my most recent investment was very intentionally NOT in Seattle,  where I reside.   

Since the LLC for a rental is predominantly used for asset protection, we always refer out to attorneys to form the entity.

This industry is full of colourful, but not always reliable players, Craig and Curt are a safe pair of hands.

I suspect that will be a selling point as both political parties try to hand over more inventory to the bigger players.

I recommend adding "Personal Injury Liability" endorsement to the policy (protects against Liable, Slander, Wrongful entry, ...). 

To protect yourself from big losses you should value the park based on the portion of rent that can be allocated to lot rent and if you have to value the homes then value those based on shell value or what you can comfortably sell them for. 

Of course rate and terms are something to consider but knowing they can perform/close and protect your reputation in the process is key.

Bad strategy as waste of time and could lead to mugging.2) Are the plumber, electrician and handyman properly insured to protect you if they get injured on your property or injure a tenant?

This would mainly protect them against tenant slip & fall lawsuits.Agree with everyone else above that they should not be asking you to provide workman's comp insurance - that is their problem.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it.We have a 12 page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.
