If I wa outfitting a property right now I would get lower end Samsung.

Here in WA I bought basically the cheapest 3/2 there was, I’m beginning to wonder if the price of houses here makes it that much more difficult to get into another one.

However, separate property must be KEPT separate, so as the years roll by there’s less likely that separate property remains separate.Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin are the community property states.The other 41 states are known as “equitable distribution” states, though their individual laws often differ considerably.  

In my opinion, you can make as much money buying cheap houses as you can buying expensive homes.Affordability is an issue for a lot of Americans so I will argue cheaper cities performed better over the past 10 years than more expensive markets / houses.San Francisco, CA, Seattle, WA and New York, NY are considered expensive markets.If I look at Zillow's price estimate for homes comparing 2016 and 2024San Francisco - Average Price of home was $1,145,000 and now its 1,262,000(Increase of 10%)Seattle - Average Price of home was $561,000 and now its $848,000(51%)New York - Average price was $561,000 and now its $766,000(37%)Memphis, TN, Indianapolis, IN and Clevlenad, OH are considered cheaper markets.Zillow is showing more appreciation in these markets over the same time periodMemphis - Average price was $73,000 and now its $149,000(104%)Indianapolis - Average price was $107,000 and now its $225,000(110%)Cleveland - Average price was $54,000 and now its $109,000(101%)Population increases and job growth are two indicators that result in appreciation.Two of the cheaper markets listed above(Memphis and Cleveland) are not increasing in population.

Silver Spring offers proximity to Washington, D.C., great schools, public transit, and a thriving local community.

I won't get into too many details since the list would be long, but in 2021 I bought a house in Tucson for a part-time escape from Washington state winters while Airbnb'ing it the rest of the time.

Hehe, I am in WA state @Ramada Evans.
