TLDR: I'm buying out my house from my ex-boyfriend in Seattle (King County), Washington and I'm struggling to find what the REET if I'm buying my ex's stake in the house.

In 2020 I bought my first house 3 bedroom 1 bathroom and a 2 car detached garage for $175,000 and put a 10k downpayment on it and interest rate was 3.5%, in 2023 I decided to rent it out for $1350 mortage was $1106.62, in 2024 we raised the rent to $1450 and our mortage currently is $1144.76- I never put into account repair expenses, Capex, vacency until I read on rental investment properies book.

Purchase price: $285,000 Cash invested: $135,000 Side by side 2-family properties (4 units in total), which needed either updating or a full build out.

Often there is a process to withhold rent and deposit it with the court until the issue is resolved.

Quote from @Steven Roil: Hello all, I am new to the site,. and tried using the forums to search for E2 Visa related questions but couldn't find much.

I think the other made some good points here. 

From what I read on the forums, section 8 works well in certain markets and not in others. 

Looking to buy a few 4-plexes in the next 1-2 years.

If the numbers don't meet your expectations, walk.

The places I could afford I felt like I was risking buying and the area receive riff raff soon after.
