If I put 3.5% down on a house that costs $300,000 (meaning I put ~$10,500 down) wouldn’t I be benefiting from inflation?

So I'd like to confidentially close on a property before the expiration of the prequalification, so I'm really working hard to do my due diligence and assure that I'm making an educated decision (hence why I'm here).Looking for any guidance on the area, or just expensive areas in general and the logistics behind buy and hold rental properties in this highly inflated market. 

I think when you are buying in the WA the level of service and amenities are extraordinary, but my my personal opinion is the it quite inflated due to brand recognition. 

Odds are good they will not call a loan if it is up to date, but it does happen.

Don't prices seem a bit inflated right now?
