I've been living in WA State for a year and have been learning my local market (I live about 45 min northwest of Tacoma on the Kitsap peninsula) while saving to buy my first property.The high home prices and high interest rates are making it challenging to find good deals.

The prices I am being quoted are outrageously high.

Others may disagree, but I would highly recommend paying off all of our debt and increasing your savings rate before investing. 

As we all know, interest rates have been very high these past years (7.5%-7.7%), and there are rumors that the FED are looking to cut the interest rates in 2024.

I built high-end custom modular (e.g. stick built in a factory and shipped) for a significantly cheaper cost per sq foot than it would have cost to build with a local builder.

I highly recommend attending a few monthly networking events/meetups!

So my advice to anyone that would care to hear it is, do not buy a property based upon a video since a video will not exactly show you foundation issues, and other things that only being in person can help with.

Greetings I wanted to know how landlords feel about families affected by the high rent hikes of 2016 in Portland, Or?

In order to consider a legal bedroom, each room will need at least 20 inches wide by 24 inches high for a window.

However, these brackets are frequently pulled off by guests, leading to high maintenance costs.
