After I got my license I had no idea how to actually starting getting clients and writing the contracts.  

@Bjorn Ahlblad I agree you cant be careful enough with tenants, we have been very picky with all our properties and so far have had no real issues.

I've renovated and managed buildings in both of those neighborhoods and have had no issues. 

Still not sure if I made the best decision or not, but I had a great 1.5 years before COVID and will still hopefully have Fall 2021 semester to have fun.Luckily, I had no idea what I wanted to after college (and still don't), so I decided to major what I was best at in high school which was math and economics. 

My first though was to disclose the issue and unload the property for what I have in it, but I have had no luck. 

I once had a commercial lender tell me I was dumb for needing the estoppels from tenants that HAD NO LEASES on paper! 

I had no idea that there can be extra costs associated with it in addition to the actual purchase of the home.

That property had no heat/air, mold growing on the walls, a fallen in wall, a floor that was sinking into the crawl space, awh, but the roof was new and excellent! 

For WA, if it requires no license it can be any "responsible person capable of performing the repair", so we are sure that legally no toes were stepped on in this regard (the tenant also had no issue with the ll doing the repairs themselves).The only uncertainty we suppose is that nothing had been agreed upon for a fee so it's only after the repair was finished the ll now wants to charge.There are RCW specifications for limits if the tenants performs the repairs due to a negligent nonresponsive landlord, but nothing saying a ll can/can't charge fees, or if they must use market estimates to create a reasonable fee, or if such fees have to be agreed upon before the repair is made.

Many of our lenders had no problem extending their investments to the new market.
