(this releases the collateral to be used again.)Move, rent your house, sell it subject to a 1031 exchange.Get second mortgage, use the cash to buy cash flow properties.Pull out cash, loan some of it out at hard money interest rates to investors, (maybe use an equity kicker) use those mortgages as consideration for cash flow properties (think about this one!)

Neighborhoods where traditional buy-holds are more palatable are generally either north in Snohomish County, or south of Seattle.Personally, I like Tacoma for slightly riskier, but higher reward type properties.

:) Anyway - keep in touch and be sure to set up some "Keyword Alerts" for terms like Olympia, Aberdeen, Tacoma... etc.

I like pre-1986 homes.I like areas like Ballard, Wallingford, Queen Anne, Tacoma, and Everett where there are price variations.

Most of the meetings are a bit far for me, but they sometimes have them in Tacoma near the dome. 

You can also set up keyword alerts like "Bellevue" "Seattle" "Tacoma" or for areas of interst like "Turn Key".

There are a number of Washington folks, including a lot from Seattle and Tacoma - so definitely be sure to set up some Keyword Alerts for those city names - so you'll be notified when we talk about local stuff or new members introduce themselves (like you just did!)

I was wondering if there's anyone who knows of a title company in the Seattle-Tacoma area is willing to do a back-to-back closing.I have the funding to do it, as well as a couple of properties.Please let me know.Thank you for your help.
