WA Attorney General: Racist for landlords not to rent to felonsA recent court filing indicates that the Washington State Attorney General’s Office believes that denying a prospective tenant with a felony conviction is racially discriminatory.A member of the Attorney General’s Civil Rights Unit served a Consent Decree on Dobler Management Company, a property management firm in Tacoma, after conducting a simulated test on whether the landlord was illegally discriminating against potential tenants.According to the briefing sent to KTTH’s Todd Herman, in May, the state asked a tester to follow up on a rental property advertisement on Craigslist, which said the apartment complex would automatically deny renters with a felony record.

Set some firm boundaries with your tenants.  

I worked for Boulay which is a regional CPA firm based out of Eden Prairie which specialized in real estate.

My firm Bowman Real Estate manages single family and multi family homes in that area.

Are you currently with a firm that doesn't charge both?

@Elliot Smith  Every month, the Northwest MLS releases a notice of disciplinary action taken against agents and their firms.

Be friendly, fair, firm, swift.

@Darwin CrawfordThe Patten Law Firm (Texas American Title) are investor friendly and will do a double close with transactional funding. 

This is a distinct disadvantage when working with a custodian as opposed to a quality advisory firm that specialized in such plans.  

We decided to try approaching them much more firm to see if they handle things differently.
