The fire department is still trying to put the fire out.

Seattle has a department of "shoppers" who go to rentals and "apply" for the rental.

You can find this information from the tax records, but I always have my investors call the city zoning department and see what they have on file.

Labor Department reports.

@Lucas Wacker - Have you tried a local bank or credit union and their commercial loan department? 

I had to deal with this once upon a time a long time ago, there is a department at L&I, I believe, that deals with all the contracts for demo for the city. 

Give your lender you new residence and mailing address For lease forms, I recommend a form that has been vetted by an organizational legal department, such as Apartment Association, Realtors Assoc, etc.

We'd just need someone with experience or another party who could vet the opportunities for our acquisitions department to get it ready for contract.

I called and was turned down by: US Bank, PenFed, BofA, PNC, SunTrust, Flagstar, Citi, OneAZ CU, TD Bank, Union Bank, Pyramid CU, TOPCU (I did talk to Ken Krapf in their business department and they will do a Business line of credit for 1-2 years, renewable, for like 4-5%, with an investment property as collateral at 75% LTV), finally I was able to get Jeff at Vantage West CU who will do a HELOC on investment property at 70% LTV around 6.5-7.25%.

@Brian EastmanThanks Brian, I retired from the fire department in January and have a 457 that is just not returning much and I wanted to start build a rental portfolio.
