@Cameron Riley, you need to speak with a local RE attorney who has knowledge of tenant law. 

After reading a few forum posts about the Seattle market and seeing a few MLS listings for multi-family homes, it seems like people are recommending to buy properties out of Seattle proper due to strict regulations for renters and price increases.I was originally looking in areas such as Ballard, Fremont, Wallingford, Greenlake because of the influx of technology employees such as myself but it seems that majority of these areas have increased prices and strict regulations.

The environmental controls are very tight and underground storage tank (UST) operators are held to strict standards for regular inspections and monitoring. 

*Make sure you pick a market with very landlord favorable laws as well- you want to be able to remove people at a low cost if things don't go well & you want tenants to know how easy this will be for you before they move in.One other thing everyone should do when selecting management: ask for a fee schedule for a variety of different types of service calls, and ask for a scope of work or two for some unit turns they've done so you have an idea of what to expect for maintenance and repair costs.

Usually, there will be landlord/tenant law specifically for those who own manufactured homes renting on someone else's land (aka the park).

I have since found an attorney who specializes in both real estate law and estate planning.

Hand it to them or post it on the door - it matters not per law.

I usually try to get opinions from two attorneys for State foreclosure laws and two realtors for CMA’s to ensure the investment has a reliable collateral on it to cover the investment with good returns.

Are you doing buy and hold investments or strictly flipping for resale?

Do you want to be strictly in real estate or do you want to invest in other industries as well?
