I believe in the power of community and learning from each other's experiences.

The city has seen a rise in rental demand, especially for multi-family units, as more people are drawn to the area for its relatively lower cost of living compared to larger metropolitan areas on the West Coast.Investors looking to enter the Spokane market for small multi-family properties should keep an eye on key factors such as property location, rental trends, and local development projects.

The Midwest markets have been attracting investors due to the low cost to entry and a lot of the markets being landlord friendly as well.

The market in the area seems pretty competitive with some nice apartments costing around 2,000 for rent so I am considering renting it out for cheaper maybe 1.8/1.9 so it doesn’t sit too long on the market.

For all three clients the emphasis was on a second family vacation home with the ability to offset costs through STR.

Have you considered the added cost for this restriction?

Specifically, I'm thinking about getting properties which ideally satisfy the 2% rule or at least are significantly above the 1% rule (ratio of monthly rent to purchase price + renovation cost).Given these goals and the fact that my constraints, I have the following questions:a) Which markets are best to look at ?

Do you think the cost of the build will work out as you expect?

Would love to know more about the market, what to look out for, and any areas to avoid at all costs.

And then an actual message comes through. 2 weeks after check out they wanted to let us know about some spider webs, a microwave built-in that was too high (based on preference), a power strip with loose wire connection and several other items that they never let us know about during their stay.
