We are huge fans of solar and put it on our primary residence, the numbers make sense for our purpose but I would have a hard time justifying putting it on a rental unless it was a MFH where I, the landlord, payed the electric bill.

Anyone from that area  thats willing to share hows the market as far as buying  rentals  goes ( high turnovers, weak market, the state is anti landlord?)

The landlord decided to take $1400 of the deposit without any explaination.

Is it the landlord's responsibility to call/hire pest control or are the tenants responsible?

Be thankful your rental is in a landlord-friendly state where the process is fairly quick. 

I am buying my first Buy&Hold property and I already formed the LLC to hold the property but I am little bit confused about the landlord insurance.

I'm looking to become a landlord with a few houses and a couple of multi-family units. 

Key words: Olympia, Tumwater, Pierce County, Lewis County, Mason County, WA, multi-family, landlord, self manage, property management, contract, lawyer,  

All they do is maintenance and turnover for landlords.

But I have some potential hang ups - Building is OLD, 1900s-1920s ish, agent/landlord has ownded for past 10 yrs and has done minimal upkeep.
