@Jay Hinrichs  I bought 3 houses at the steps and none of them rod was bidding on.  I should of known better.  lol.   when we were doing the auctions, we were small fish in a large ocean of deep pockets.   everyone was bidding at or above market and it made no sense for flipping.  learned a lot and i do miss the action for sure

The only think keeping you from your dreams is fear.  If you haven't high tailed it after reading some of these comments then its all good.  

I lived on whidbey back in the day, and currently live in washougal wa.  Mt V.  is a cool town.   Just make sure your first deal is a good one.  Talk to agents and property managers about finding flip contractors.  the guys they usually know are in and out and what i do know about the NW is try to avoid market deals.   Find deals that haven't hit listing.   knowing some agents will help with this.  If you have the money to buy cash, then make offers in cash.  don't get in bidding wars.  and don't get emotional with a "deal".   The shows we watch on TV are far from the truth and nothing about today flipping is romatic or as profitable unless you get lucky.  I have bought on the court house steps several times and i have never walked away with a flip "deal".   if you can buy and hold for a few years, then that is very possible.  

I am not a seasoned investor,  Just someone who is fearless and willing to get up after being slapped around and knocked down.  which has been several times by the way!  Go kill it girl!!!!

this is probably a property that has multiple offers.  it would not surprise me the owner and agent are sitting and waiting for others to come in.   and for other offers to be higher and to take as is where is and do the closing costs as well.  it will be interesting to see how this pans out.  good luck
