Hey there! If you're interested in homes on/around Whidbey Island and find yourself needing a Realtor, my wife Joelle is available! She works out of the Keller Williams in Oak Harbor and I can give you her number if anyone would like!

Thumbtack is another website you might consider. I've never used it just know that it is comparable to Angies.

David, First thing you need to do is go talk to some lenders, and get pre-approved for a mortgage. Make sure your credit is looking good, and that your debts are small. They will consider your debt to income ratio as a huge factor on how much they will lend you. So if you have a $500 car payment for example, and $300 minimum Credit card payments.... even though everything is paid flawlessly. That could screw up your DTI depending on how much your income is. I personally got rid of all my liabilities and debts. I'd rather drive a used car I paid cash for, then to screw up my DTI and not be able to get funding. Hope this helps! Also hit me up I have a mortgage broker I could refer you to.

I've seen the ad float around Facebook.... following...

@Duke Hartman My brother is a great Handyman. He lives here in Oahu now. He used to work rehabs with a few guys in Colorado and has lots of experience. Send me a message if you'd like to get his contact info and give him an interview. 

@Jordan Calaway Thanks!! I do love Hawaii as well but.... It's expensive! Probably not the best place to start with investments but what do I got to lose!? 

@Dale Rector I have visited both the big island and Kauai. Loved them both! That's awesome to hear you're getting some deals in the works over there. Once I get started over here we will have to talk lessons learned etc!
