I would have each tenant sign a lease addendum that spells out exactly how the utilities are split up so there is no confusion or ambiguity down the line. 

That's a lot of people to pay back and it could get pretty confusing, but if you offer enough interest and show them a compelling reason to lend, it might work.Probably the best solution is using a local bank.

I have called the zoning and the licensing board but have received confusing and non conclusive information.

@Dan Sheeks I love the article i was really confused on what steps i should be taking at a early age but the article cleared a lot of things up thank you

That's exactly where I confuse Dave.

This week I received the results which were a little confusing.

So I am just going to throw the situation out there and see what opinions people have.
I'm in my early 50's and I am a single dad. I moved from California to Washington state. I kept my Ca home and have it rented out...

However, because the market is so hot, I'm not entirely sure how long it will take me to find a property.Does anyone know if I can still keep my Homestead exemption on my original residence if my loan is an investment loan if I'm living in the property (aka never moved).I understand that once I move or rent out the property that I would need to transfer the homestead exemption to the new property, just wondering what happens if I never end up being able to move.I'll ask the local appraiser office tomorrow, but wondering what you guys have done or have experienced since sometimes these complex questions might confuse those at the appraiser office.Thanks!

I know this may seem confusing, but below will be a picture of what it looks like in the tax map.

The listing is quite confusing, its listed as a 2 bed 2 BA SFH.
