Maybe Seattle will appreciate more, maybe it'll slow down or even go backwards for awhile, but if you're not cash flowing in the meantime it sounds like that's a gamble that's more trouble than it's likely worth.

If it was a middle of no-where or rural area and the the city is expanding, its practically a gamble on when the price would be right since there market will be providing newer and normally better houses.

I live in S Fla so unless you gamble, just want management fees or are happy to park money... buying MF is not really happening ... right now it’s about waiting for nervous developers to capitulate in bulk or making deals with the loan to own lenders last in the door
