Will the seller hold any paper?

Use the calculators here on the forum to keep it simple.

Get your criteria on paper before you do another showing,  put it in the hands of everybody who views  (along with lead disclosure,  WA landlord tenant law,  fair housing poster,  and everything else I cannot remember you are required to give people who are viewing)  and send copies post-haste to anybody you already showed who is still interested.   4)  I don't think it is illegal to change your price after advertising  (clearly it is OK to reduce your price, if nobody is biting)  but if you have already taken applications it would be kinda sleazy to change the price on them,  and if you do, make darn sure you communicate  the same exact price change for EVERYONE who has already viewed or you could be hit with discrimination claims.
