I sent this e-mail to Nicole Marci, one of sponsors of this Bill:Dear Ms Marci, If you want property owners to continue to offer rental housing in the city of Seattle and the state of Washington, you need to recognize the impact your proposed bill would have.

I did, however, send myself an e-mail that outlined the call, what was discussed, and that she had not gotten back in touch with me. 

But first....Why not try to squeeze a little more juice and give yourself some runway to find the perfect next property like @Hai Loc is saying??

Independent mortgage brokers stomp guts on "slow" and "hard to close" VA loans, bankers and direct lenders almost all really REALLY suck at them, **or** (& maybe even worse) are good at them operationally, but have the margins juiced up (we're talking 3x and 5x the normal standard profit margin for a conventional loan and for bankers and direct lenders this is lawful) such that they're taking advantage of our fellow veterans and have trash rates (for a VA loan).

The monthly rent would not justify the purchase price of $210K if you weren't going to (1) live in it for a while and (2) juice the rent via the rehab. 

Shoot me an e-mail later.

Until a couple of days ago, so I reached out to them in an e-mail and asked for them to email me a copy and where had they mailed the original to?

Between the laundry and created off street parking I usually juice the rent 150 per month per unit.

@Brad E.

I know for a conventional loan, depreciation, taxes, and mortgage interest from your schedule E are added back to your income, thus it doesn't hurt your DTI when you add them on your taxes.Does FHA do the same?
