I've lived in Seattle/Kirkland for 15+ years and I've seen what happened with the tech boom...and the lion's share of that growth was in Seattle/Kirkland/Redmond/Bellevue. $200K for a condo in Bellevue/Redmond might be more reasonable.Furthermore, $1700 for a 2br 1ba with 1000 sqft?

That seems the easiest way to accomplish the task.

I've had good success in the Idaho Falls area but today would probably prefer the Boise area for it's growth.

And the response will contain within it both the seeds for your growth and the seeds for your success.

I think Ingleside is more established and might be more stable growth in value.

In high growth areas where apartments and SFR's are going up. 

it depends on your ultimate goals, but refi will allow quicker growth and more long term cf

Or you could hire a property management firm to do all the tenant related tasks. 

That being said, it probably will be a good long-long term investment, but Buda has had much more control on its growth which has driven its prices up.

My partners there are doing very well for themselves and I still think Chicago is the best market for employment and growth
