I currently live in Western WA but am looking to make the move to Eastern WA, specifically the Spokane Valley area.

I'm currently soaking up all of the knowledge I can and I'd love to make connections! 

The fact that you’re aware of it and taking small steps is huge!

I am in the process of settlement on my 1st property in 1 week. i have a 5% down conv loan thru a credit union bank. this a duplex and is a row house. i plan to live in one unit and rent out the other. the seller is also selling the duplex property next to it.

In the next few months, I'm looking to get a standard CA NAA lease with RUBS included for billing the water and sewer, as well as requiring tenants to have their own renters insurance, as that is not something they are currently required. 

I'm curious about the proper legal structure and business types one should use to minimize personal liability as well as remain fairly anonymous to the general public.

There is much less new supply of single family homes, so the rental rates are flat to up a little; this does depend on the neighborhood though, in some of the fringe areas where there is a lot of new single family home construction the rents are a little softer.
