Hello,Wow, it has been a very interesting last month.Was wondering if any other investors out there have felt the shift in the last month in pricing but also the demand for rentals?

Investors will still buy there, especially if they don't have a team that keeps them current with the every shifting marketplace, so the values may stay stable and even rise for the time being.

.- It is not clear that we'll see a major shift in favor of rental property owners here in the Seattle area, however navigating the current market isn't overly challenging if you're playing by the book and keeping up to date.

And yet they implode rapidly with market shifts downwards..Locally we have one of our association members who is involved with them but he is a Newb as well and isn't doing a lot of volume but as he has a "little" more experience than others he is leading his Renatus group..The whole use "0" interest cards to fund one vehicle which funds another is downright scary and I think has hurt more people than it has helped..

I spoke to a potential purchaser of a townhouse in EO who was put off by the fact that her daughter worked the night shift and would have to park her car a few blocks away when she returned from work, and it wouldn't necessarily have been safe for a female to walk alone at night.Besides the safety/parking concerns, as Steve said the taxes are high, even in a state known for having the highest property taxes in the nation.

I’m active duty Air Force and used my VA loan multiple times.I lived in areas with strong rental rates and communities that most military move to.I would recommend shifting your strategy to find these communities, even if it’s a new development where the numbers work for a rental (after you PCS).Real estate investing is a long game and the properties, if purchased in the right area, will appreciate and rent will be strong.If you’re looking to mitigate risk, this may be something to consider.All of my properties have strong rents though I’ve only had one military family in them in the past six years.I wish you all the best.
