Every other day there is some kind of ordinance, fee, prohibition in Seattle that restricts what an owner can do with an investment property.There will be others who live in Seattle that will disagree with me.

There are unique restrictions you can put into place because you occupy the house as well (assuming you’re actually going to live there, I hope...). 

If you get into MTNL some CMBS might offer a few years of interest only but you also pay really high loan costs and they impose lockbox accounts trapping the money and holding heavy reserves.
