Trying to find a house for my first investment (Spokane Wa)

[Blake Riley]

My wife and I are both 22 years old, and currently we live in her parents basement, we are trying to look for our first real estate investment detailed below, does anyone have any tips/tricks into buying a house in the Spokane Area.

We have been looking into buying into a house when a housing crash occurs (some predict after all this Covid-19)

- a house that I can live in for at least a year

- renovate the inside while living there

- in a decent neighborhood, so that I can rent it out after

- kind of like a live in BRRRR Strategy.

Is there any tips that anyone has while looking for houses or neighborhoods in Spokane to stay out of (felony flats, hillyard, and brownes addition)

@Blake Riley, welcome to Bigger Pockets! I've met lots of great people here, both local and otherwise. I've been a full time investor here in Spokane / CDA for over 6 years and am now also in the business of helping others get their foot in the door with investing. If you'd like to grab coffee and chat real estate more (appropriately "distanced" of course - we can walk around the lake and chat with a coffee in our hands!) I would be glad to share my experience and help you get started. Let me know!
