Thanks, @Cory Carlson!
House hack--that was our plan. I am blessed to have great opportunities to get started through my employer, so I definitely plan to take advantage.
How do you feel about managing properties from a distance? I have considered purchasing through my employer in some of our other regions (e.g. South Washington, Boise...)
Where can I learn more about doing something like that?
Well, since you mentioned Ecclesiastes and spelled it correctly, I'm honor bound to give you good advice with certitude. Anything on the West Side of the mountains is over priced and Boise is way, way over priced. That means "thar's a correction acomin". Don't fall for the common misconception that prices never go down for real estate. They do, and they can go down hard. Ecclesiastes 1:9
Thanks for the advice, Mike! I totally agree... There is no certainty or stability in this world.
I would agree on avoiding Boise right now, too. My employer is building out in Southern Idaho, so I have been watching those prices and that scary high inventory level. I don't suspect I'll be putting any money into Boise until that market cools off, but could be good in the long term after corrections.
At the moment, I want to focus on Redmond, OR. I see some future potential here and my situation is ideal for it.
Blessings, brother.
