Hey Seattle BPers - I've got a challenge for you: pull out your crystal ball, your data sets, and your intuition and predict the highest appreciation Seattle neighborhood in 2020, 2021, and 2022.Winner gets something.

If we were to take a crystal ball it is easily seen how Amazon, eBay, and online retailers start to flourish.

Let me check my crystal ball real quick...Nope.I do believe in Cryptocurrencies and the blockchain decentralized technology having a boom in the next few years though.... but that's another debate :)

What I mean is, even if you are occupying one of your properties, if it is appreciating, it is still making you money vs paying someone else's rent on their property that is appreciating.I think there is a time and place for considering a rental vs a purchase, but it would be a very unique situation or market to make sense from an investing standpoint.....say if you had a crystal ball that told you that in 6 months the market would tank....THEN probably a good idea to dump everything and hunker down in an appartment for a year or 2

I don't have a crystal ball.  

What is more than crystal clear right now is companies will require folks to be in the office.

@Thor SveinbjoernssonI think that this is a subject that everyone would love to have a crystal ball.

Let me start by being crystal clear.

No one has a crystal ball but if you are willing to take what you have gained it might be a good opportunity to invest in a market you have wanted to jump into.
