Hi from lil' ole Kingston, WA, across the water from Seattle.

Does anyone have any suggestions about loan options that would get me out of the range of 15-20% down? 

Tainted water in flint, oil spill on the coast, massive fire in Sonoma, earthquakes, floods, etc.

In regard to utilities, It is very common to have the tenants pay for Electric and Gas while the landlord pay for water Trash etc. 

Hi @Fred Ewert, what rent range are you targeting for the side you rent out?

Do you get pre-approved with the bank for a mortgage up to a certain amount then go out and try to find a deal within that price range, or do you look for the house first then get the mortgage?
