Hi @Ben Hooper, 

Can you please say what cap rate you are looking for? I'm an agent and investor in a couple different vacation areas in WA. Some areas have better cap rates but others have better appreciation. 

@Chris Brownridge,

Hi Chris, I'm a Realtor, live full time on Snoqualmie Pass and do a lot of work in the Easton, Cle Elum, Roslyn area. I also have my own STR in other parts of WA. Give me a call and I can help you with what you are looking for.

There is shift or migration going on in WA. People are moving east and LTR investors are moving to STR investors. As @Nik Moushon mentioned, this is only going to create more demand for LTR and most likely price hikes. 

Hi @Rick Buenaventura, @Dado Vucak,

I'm a real estate agent & investor that lives on snoqualmie pass from the Cle elum area. Both are great places to invest for STR with a ton of future development happening. If you have any questions about the area please reach out!

Cheers, and have some Fun!

Hi @Anthony O'Brien

Its all about your goals, understand what you want out of real estate investing and find a few ways to achieve that. Markets and laws will always be changing and that's why it best to have plan A and Plan B. As said before, screening tenants is one of the best ways to avoid problems with LTR. 

Just hypothetical, but if you did buy a property prior to covid and your tenants didn't pay rent for 18 months could you afford that?  would the property have appreciated 20% like the rest of the state? where would that put you now? its always hard to say that the market is going to do. You just need to find your goals and make a plan!

Have some Fun with your investing, 

Amanda Dallman.

Hi Pat, 

Welcome to bigger pockets! Real Estate investing is a big world and there is so much you can do with it. Set goal for what you want and know your comfort levels. In the begging of my investing career I though I wanted to go out of state because of the cheaper enter point. So,  I traveled around and looked into areas in the south and mid west to find a lot of competition. In the end I changed my strategy to buy less doors in Washington, his meant less properties to manage and more return on appreciation. This year Washington's population grew over 14% and I believe this will continue for many years as tech keeps moving in. There are still a few markets in WA you can get houses for decent prices. If you ever want to chat more about investing in WA give me a shout!

Best of luck and have some fun!

Hi @Justin Reader

I give applicants the application Bigger pockets has for WA and then order a search from https://www.tenantbackgroundsearch.com. I also charge a bit more then the application for the time it takes me. I will get the results back in about 24 hours. 

Hope this helps, and have some Fun!

Hi @Anna Bee,

Im a real estate agent in WA, I can say that there really isn't much for foreclosures in the state right now, and the ones I see are still at market price or event worse over priced. The banks seem to want top dollar for what they have. I spent several years chasing foreclosures and tax auction and ended up looing time. I had to change my investing strategy to buy property's that fit my needs.  I'm wonder what your strategy is and if there is a way I can help you. I invest in a couple different areas in Washington. Feel free to call me and we can chat more. 

Best of luck and have some fun!
