Hi Jack,

North King County cities would be along the lines of Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, Bothell, Cottage Lake, Duvall.  I'm surprised that the numbers are so skewed.  I've seen around 20% appreciation at least since last year in South King County cities such as Renton, Kent.  I'm going to check out the latest posts and see if I can find what you were looking at.

If you'd like, I can take a look for homes in your price range around North King County.

Hi Peter,

I recommend finding properties just outside the city and making fast, aggressive offers.  Being within the city limits of Seattle poses far too many rules and regulations, all of which continue to change rapidly. Getting into good neighborhoods that are close enough for commutes into the city, are affordable to both buyers and renters, are completely feasible given your budget.  It's really a matter of connecting with someone who knows the market well.

Given our market conditions, you'll be hard pressed to find something that cash flows quickly and easily.
