came from Tacoma in 2000.

Tacoma’s housing market is now the hottest in U.S. — and Seattle knows whyhttps://www.seattletimes.com/business/real-estate/tacomas-housing-market-is-now-the-hottest-in-u-s-and-seattle-knows-why/Report from Redfinhttps://www.redfin.com/blog/hot-housing-market-tacoma/

I've heard these stories from credible sources for decades (one occured on my street a few years ago): A moving van pulls up in front of a house in the middle of the day and movers in uniform load the contents of the house on to the van.

The sheriff instructs the movers to place the evicted tenants property just outside of the dwelling but not off the property because of a long driveway.

This is literally a real life example of what was possible in Tacoma WA when I bought my first house paid in full at the near bottom of the market.

Generally they are not fast movers for flips but some of the lake property brings good money and good vacation rents.

If the permits didn't take so long, you could probably get the returns flipping in Tacoma.

Also one in tacoma.     

Everett Tacoma Renton, etc

It's not a huge sum of money in the big picture (and is a reasonable amount to spend on movers and such), and it will build tremendous goodwill -- especially since you're displacing her and moving into the unit, she is more likely to leave it nice and clean and in good repair if she feels respected and treated nicely on the way out.
