Welcome to BP :) You've come to the right place ! 

I always had the same thought of using my home as a rental and moving out as well :)

@Ryland Taniguchi

@Ryland TaniguchiI finally found an agent that is working with me, hopefully everything goes well. 

Wow, 30, 40 offers :)  Seems that your doing some serious business, Ryland :)  There must be some good deals if you have lots of offers. To me this is the starting point in my investment in the states,  thought I had bought homes in the past (just to live in XD)

@Nick Jenkins

 Thanks Nick for the warm welcome ! :)

@Renea Steward

Hope I get that award :)  So much to learn and great things happening in BP.  always gets me motivated :)

@Ryland Taniguchi

Thanks Ryland ! 

For some extra income steam I'm looking for some potential rentals:  a duplex or a sfh/condo units in the tacoma/puyallup area. Duplexes are much more expensive then six months / a year before so I might got for single family homes or condo units. :) somewhat something smaller.

To me finding agents who work on weekends is harder then finding good properties XD

@Peter Woodward

Thanks Peter ! I'll PM you.

@Chris Stromdahl

Thanks for your insights Chris. The place you've mentioned, Is that where Emerald Queen Casino is ?

@Carol H. 

Welcome to BP Carol !  Thanks for sharing your plan and good luck on your next purchase!

@Steve Vaughan @Walter W. @Jimmy Tang @Account Closed @Ned Carey @Billy Au-Yeung 

Thanks so much for the warm welcome !! Hope to see you more in BP  :)

Living in local areas gives somewhat some advantage when getting jobs in some cases. Not sure if this would be a good idea or not but I would see if I could rent a room instead a house and look for a job first to minimize the risk and cost. (then the family could move with purchasing the right property).

@Orlando Roche

Thanks for the great info !  I was actually looking  at Hilltop properties through google earth right now :) One thing I noticed .. some places in that area possibly need fences.  additional  expense :/

@Kyle Parks 

Yes I guess there are always opportunities in every area. risky but good reward.

I will do much more research before I purchase anything. I like to study, drive and visit the areas in advance.

as I game developer, I wish this would happen ! :)

Hello BP folks !

I have some questions about the Tacoma, WA area.  I know there are quite a few seasoned investors or folks who know this area well :)

My question is...    

Are there any areas in Tacoma to avoid when purchasing single family homes or Multi family units for possible rentals (and why) ? 

thanks in advance !
