Special assessment can be a huge financial drain if they come up unforeseen.You can also consider single family homes or townhouses in town in FWB or Navarre.

The state is very landlord friendly and Tulsa and Oklahoma City are towns where you can combine considerable cash flow and appreciation.

We bought a home in a ski resort town.

It is hard to find mutlifamily in town, are you looking in other areas of Skagit?

I see many town home new builds have this feature but likely because it allows higher density/lower cost of land since many lack yard area but the rooftop allows an outdoor feature. 

Definitely not a town I'd call growing or in the path of progress. 

The agreement should last 4-5 days.If I don't like that home, and I think I want to engage a buyer agent for more in depth services over a longer period of time, then I will entertain other buyer representation agreements, but I will not agree to over 2%, which is the maximum recommended by the Consumer Federation of America.To be fair, if my needs required my buyer agent to show me 30+ homes, or preview them since I am out of town, or something else that took an extraordinary amount of the agent's time, I would consider more than 2%.

If I remember correctly, it was in New Britain, near the Farmington Town line.

Maybe your town has regulations.

In a small town, it's likely just 1 or 2 people.
