Investing in expensive cities

[Phil Greely]

Who in the BP community invests in expensive areas? I'm in Seattle where the market is expensive and anything listed gets bid up quickly. Even off market deals are pricey. I want to buy rentals within an hour drive and near good job centers. So...I'm prepared to pay more. Just curious what investors in higher priced areas do and how people are strategizing. I love the BRRRR model but that definitely needs an off market, under value deal in my area.
