I can't speak too much to the market on the Westside, but as far as affordability on the West Coast Spokane is worth looking into.

Focus on long-term rentals in affordable markets with reliable cash flow, and steer clear of high-cost flips, lower-class properties, or overleveraging in areas that rely solely on appreciation.Good luck!

You might decide that you absolutely want to own your own residence there and I assume you can afford it since you already own properties elsewhere, likely in beautiful Hawaï.

If you like impacting the nation by providing affordable housing you can really put people in houses here.

Do you have any idea of the price point you can afford and are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper"?

I love the program, as it helps many people who can't afford housing.

It's a more affordable market and lower property taxes, so you may actually have a chance to cash flow.

These are becoming very affordable from retailers like Home Depot and Floor and Decor, and they really set you apart from builder-grade homes!

It's much more affordable (you can get the $100 annual version instead of $300 per month like Appfolio).

In short, I can afford the additional $1100/mo cost of a second house, even until I rent it out.I have around $35K in HYSA and emergency funds that I could use for a down payment, but that's less than 20% which would be required for a conventional loan, assuming full purchase price.
