Tell me about your zip codes

[Christina Greaves]

Hi everyone.

I’ve been trying to exercise doing neighborhood analysis as I work to refine my investing strategy. As the saying goes, in real estate it’s location location location! 

So to that end, I’d love to hear from those of you who invest in the Western Washington area. If you’re open to  answer these few questions:

1) what kind of investing do you focus on?

2) what are your target Zipcodes and why do you like them? 

3) which areas do you absolutely avoid and why?

4) Any resources you’d recommend for market/neighborhood analysis?

Thank you!!

@Christina Greaves, it all depends on your goals.

If you want pure, crazy high appreciaiton, you will need to focus on East side cities (Bellevue, Kirkland, Sammamish, Redmond, ....)

If you want DADU, you will need to focus on (Seattle, Tacoma, Kirkland)

If you want Airbnb income, you will need to focus on cities like (Baring, Gold Bar, Skykomish,.....)

and do on, and so forth..... 

So you will need to define your goals first before picking the zip code
