ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I WAS INTERESTED IN THIS PROPERTY WAS I LITERALLY GREW UP AROUND THIS PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD SO IT WAS A FULL CIRCLE MOMENT FOR ME BESIDE IT BEING A GREAT DEAL I WAS VERY FAMILIAR AND COMFORTABLE WITH THE AREA !.

I'm a licensed lender in Washington (and many other states), I invest as a "side hustle" and grew up in Seattle, so I feel your pain.  

I grew up in the Western US, where homes are generally constructed the same (broadly speaking). 

I grew up near San Francisco and moved to Reno, NV to live and house hack. 

The yard was over grown with trees or weed saplings that grew into trees.

Looking to cash flow on low entry homes in some pretty nice neighborhoods close to where I grew up.

My best experiences renting to undergraduates has been when 2 or 3 of them that all grew up together start college together and rent together, with the parents coming in as co-signers.

An analysis of the data also shows that the city north of Austin grew 10.6% year-over-year, making it the fastest-growing city of at least 50,000 people.
