I've noticed a steady increase in most Washington & Oregon state MFs to the point where these properties don't even come close to meeting the 1% rule & would actually be breaking even or taking a loss if purchased.Are there any other cities/counties in the PNW (or elsewhere) where there's still some prospects for healthy cash flow?

Your MN market still seems healthy and within the range.

Having trouble pulling comps and would also like some general info on how healthy that market is (for a possible flip or rental).

We are continuing to learn and grow at a healthy pace.

Hi DebbieThat's a really  healthy attitude that you have.

There are plenty of pockets in DC where you can find good valued properties that will also drive healthy rents in the multifamily space.Another way to "house hack" in the district if the multifamily space is to expensive for you is to purchase a single family house or condo with multiple bedrooms and rent out the rooms to friends/like minded individuals that you wouldn't mind living with. 

Low cost of living, diversified sectors with rapid development, plenty of mfam properties, and healthy rent growth.

.: Quote from @Timothy Hero: When rates were low 3's, they said any day a crash was coming.When rates jumped to 8%, they said any day a crash was coming.During both markets, the foreclosure rates and prices remained healthy and strong in most markets.Inflation has come down, 9/10 markets are up YTD in prices, and rates have come down from 8% to upper 6's. 

Some posts just ramble and then don't even have a specific question.There is definitely a healthy medium.
