I too live and invest in Kitsap County and I agree with all in saying this is a hidden paradise full of great REI opportunities.

Jamaica is an area of interest to me, because I think there may still be some hidden gems.

Marketing to motivated sellers I come across these gems every once in a while, but they are rare.

Often there is hidden damage that must be corrected and initial estimates, even by mold remediation companies, may fall short of the true cost of remediation.

I could just image dealing with this in my 60's...I had an offer for $0 down, seller carry. stuff like that.What I learned about the area is that your buyer in that low end home ($75k) range is really looking for more of a manufactured home and that price. this house was not a gem by any means but it was cleaned up nicely, had some great space and an open layout.

Geelong actually has buy and hold cash flow gems lurking.

We can bring a lot of heart, determination and creativity to the table and are willing to do whatever it take to do some "on the job" learning and participating.Big thanks to Joshua Dorkin and @Brandon Turner for creating this gem of a community.Additionally, I want to thank everyone in the community - Veterans and Beginners alike - and look forward to becoming a part of the community.

Along with Hidden valley lake..

There are a lot of hidden costs in Real estate; closing costs, transfer taxes, holding costs, selling costs like an agents commission.
