Great to see another WA resident on the board.

This particular example you gave was in Washington state and when I looked up the city in city-data, the population has been steady, at best, but mostly on a downward trend since 1970.

I’ve been wondering if getting a triplex or quad, living in one unit and vacation renting out the other units would be a viable option.One issue it could solve is wanting to downsize but what to do with family when they come to visit if we had significantly less square footage.

Do you have access to the local property appraiser site, which should should show square footages.

Edmonds is one of my favorite places in Washington.

Looking to diversify into Washington or Florida, but I wanted to hear other folk's experiences as of the past year.Thanks!

I have done the math with the square footage, and I rent 41% of the home out.

I think Wyoming, Washington, South Dakota, Nevada, Alaska, and Florida are no income tax states too.Mark

For those suggesting granite I want to know your trick for getting them to do a small kitchen on the price for square foot.
