EVERETT, WA – Sixteen low-income students will graduate July 28 from a two-quarter property management program created by Housing Hope, Coast Real Estate and Everett Community College.
“This program was created to provide high-quality training that we hope will lead to jobs for students who have struggled to find work,” said Coast Real Estate Services president Shawn Hoban, whose company provided instructors for the program. “Local properties benefit through the availability of skilled, trained future employees.”
The program prepares students to work as leasing agents, on-site managers and maintenance personnel for apartments and commercial buildings and includes a 200-hour internship. Five students have already been hired by the companies they’re interning with.

“Without the skills or any special trade, I wasn’t getting anywhere in life. Now, I feel like I’m going to get somewhere – I’ve got something that I am good at,” she said.
“This program is a huge value to all of the students who get the opportunity to go through it and learn the industry, but it’s a huge value to the industry. Many people who get into property management don’t have all of this training,” Epler said.
Epler is interning with Brierwood Manor, a 156-apartment property in south
“She’s wonderful,” said Brierwood Manor manager Rebecca Collins. “She’s rented eight to 10 apartments and even improved our advertising.”
The property management program was created in partnership with Housing Hope, which provides affordable housing and helps families become self-sufficient.
“For years we at Housing Hope have sought avenues to help homeless families improve their incomes. We have programs at our residential facilities which create family stability and develop basic skills. This property management program is a powerful new partnership that builds on our program to help families gain knowledge and specialized skills for meaningful work and wage progression opportunities”, said
The program is a good example of how

In response to questions poised by Shawn Hoban, CPM of Coast Management, John McCoy, State Representative of the 38th LD responded with the following letter:
Dear Mr. Hoban,
Thank you for your email. I appreciate your position on the issue of repealing the B&O tax exemption for on-site property managers.
Washington State's B&O tax generally applies to all sales of services. The tax applies to the income received both by the service provider, as well as by any subcontractor hired to perform all or part of the services on behalf of the original service provider. The success of the B&O tax depends on this "pyramiding" application. Therefore, exemptions from the tax are infrequent and typically narrow. RCW 82.04.394 provided a narrow exclusion from B&O for amounts received by a property management company from the owner of a property for gross wages and benefits paid to on-site personnel, and paid directly from a trust account maintained under RCW 18.85.285.
While the legislature did approve SB 6143, which in part repealed the B&O exemption for on-site property managers, the bill does not affect the general agency exemption outlined in WAC 458-20-111 (Rule 111). Taxpayers may still receive pass-through treatment for certain income, provided that all elements of Rule 111 are met. Where the property owner (rather than the property management company) is the employer of record for on-site managers, Rule 111 may potentially still apply.
Determining eligibility for pass-through treatment under Rule 111 is a very fact-specific process. The Department of Revenue's Taxpayer Information and Education section can provide a written ruling on whether Rule 111 would apply in any particular situation.
I know this doesn’t alleviate all of your concerns, but I hope it helps address some of the issues you described.
Sincerely,
John McCoy
State Representative, 38th LD
