I live near JBLM and have noticed how much more military has expanded out to lacey, olympia, yelm, roy, spanaway, graham, etc. 

Our MLS is on an e-key that only agents and appraisers can get access to (that I know of). 

I have a tenant who keeps complaining about the neighbor parking in the driveway and not letting my tenant have access to her garage. 

If you're worried about not being able to expand as quickly, then taking some of the equity out would be a good choice.

The best deals are off-market because people who have done the work needed to list their house with a realtor expect a lot more money and you have competition from everyone with access to someone with access to MLS.Think about sending mailers to what we call "motivated sellers" You can work with a list broker to get a target that's good for a competitive market.

You also have access to and qualitative for a 0% down and 3.5% interest VA loan. 

You now have access to loans with fico scores as low as 540 with full documentation and around 600 with no documentation.

Sound like the MLS or some other site where multiple people have access to the same deal. 

I know Bridgeport is generally where investors are looking but I want to expand my search a bit and try and find other markets to look.
