After working with my sister to guide my mom through the sale of her condo and transition into an independent living facility, I wanted to have even more resources at my fingertips to help folks in similar situations. I […]

Own-to-Rent

Rather than the typical “move-up” buyer of the past, who sold their previous home upon buying a larger one, these days many Seattle-ites [who can afford it] are instead turning their first home into a rental.
