Investing in Alaska

[Amy Paradis]

Hey BP!

We are Vermont investors and I side hustle as a real estate agent. We are evaluating the possibility in 1-2 years or so of purchasing a multi family in Alaska and keeping one unit open as a second home for us to travel to in summer months. Hoping to hit a few more local milestones before investing out of state.

We are evaluating the Wasilla, Palmer, Eagle River and possibly anchorage area. The last time we traveled to Alaska, we liked Wasilla but are open to areas within that region that's not incredibly far from Anchorage. I'm curious if there are any recommendations on agents that may be able to set up auto MLS emails for multi families to help me get a bit more familiar with the markets. I'm also curious if anyone could point me in the direction to educate on Alaska market data. The information I'm finding online is scarce.

I really appreciate any insight and would love to connect if anyone had other recommendations.
