Top counties for a wise long-term investment

[Lara Nicole]

I moved to Portland, OR almost 2 years ago with the intent to buy a SFH & house hack. However, Portland has declined substantially in terms of homelessness, trash piles, crime, looting & drug use, but despite this property prices are rising. Due to the anti landlord laws & the above I'm considering moving and/or investing in Wa state.

Are there any counties or neighborhoods in Wa state where cash flow is still viable, the market has upswing potential in terms of the job market & economic strength, and the tenant laws are landlord friendly? I'm open to either a SFH or multi-family.

I think you should look at Beaverton near the downtown area around the library for a house hack. You can find duplexes / triplexes in the $500-700k range and those rents will be increasing rapidly as the restaurant area near downtown Beaverton go in. There are multiple new breweries and trendy restaurants being built out as we speak.

Cheers,
