We have a Short Term Rental in Homer, AK. I'm sure there are others on Bigger Pockets, especially if you consider both STR's and LTR's. Cheers!

    Hey Kassandra T.

    I'm still trying to get setup as an investor, but I was raised in Fairbanks have lived in Wasilla and have family in Waslilla/Anchorage. I was looking at property prices up there and think it might be best for a buy and hold, rather than down here in the greater Seattle area.

    Your original post was 9 years ago but now it's a hot topic! Hope you're having a great Year so far.  I'm in Wasilla, and do a lot of investing and am also a Realtor so if anyone wants to connect hit me up!

    @Tyler Bobo I am interested in out of state investing. How exactly do we exchange info on this site? I went to inbox and tried sending you a message but it kept erasing your name when I selected a different field. But I would definitely like to start a dialog.

    Planning to retire in Alaska.  Would love to invest in a small multi-family, before moving up there for good.  

    Looking at the Anchorage-Eagle River-Wasilla-Palmer area.

    Concerned more about the decline in oil prices than COVID.

    Any perspective appreciated.

    A few questions:

    1. Which of these cities are considered appreciating?

    2. What parts of Anchorage would you recommend to focus duplex-four plex search?

    3. What banks/credit unions do you recommend for out-of-state financing?

    @Christopher Kerr and @Phil K. - I am also an active investor and investor's realtor here in Anchorage area. I grew up in the Valley which has been the fastest growing area for about 30 years straight in Alaska. Appreciation has been slow and steady in Anchorage area - Girdwood perhaps the fastest. Phil - if we can email I can send you a map of Anchorage with areas explained for your focus - and where to avoid.

    Hi All, first time on the site. I am also looking to live/invest in real estate in Alaska. I have full benefits for a VA loan, and I'm hoping to be able to "remote work" my California job while living in Alaska.

    Does anyone have any recommendations for locations in Alaska? It seems like Anchorage is pretty hot, but I wouldn't mind something more off the beaten path like Juneau too. My objective is to buy a 4-plex with my VA loan, live in it for ~1 year, then sell it to my wholly-owned LLC, and use my VA loan again to repeat the process. My end goal is to own a handful of properties that I can eventually live off the rents and semi-retire from my "day job".

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello,

    I'm also new to BP's and looking forward to getting started on my next venture.  I rental in the Tacoma, WA area that started out as my primary residence many years ago.  When I moved from that area 8 years ago, I started renting it out and managing it myself.  I'm now in the Wasilla area and looking to jump in and hopefully be able to swim rather than sink.  I'd love to hear some good and bad that people have experienced through their start up.

    I'm in the Fairbanks area, I have a SFH rental that does really well up here along with my primary house. I'm ready to acquire my next property, preferably a multi family. I've scoped out Anchorage but I'm leaning towards out of state. Best of luck!

    @Keenan Fitzpatrick I’m in the analyzing phase - Midwest mainly. I’m trying to not get analysis paralysis! Indianapolis is intriguing, also have been scoping Oklahoma. Trying to make the numbers work! I’ve considered sticking in the home town but I haven’t came across anything promising yet.

    I sent you a connect request, I just realized you are a flipper! I’m interested in this but do not have the skill set needed, I would definitely need a team. Have you looked in Fairbanks area? There’s so many opportunities for flips here.

    I’ve got two fourplexes in Anchorage. I am actually thinking of selling both and 1031’ing into a commercial rental property in the lower 48 somewhere.

    @Phil K. replying to your post from 8months ago on appreciation in Alaska. I totally missed it when I originally responded. I've had the same concerns and found it difficult to commit to an area. 

    1) My brother has 3 properties, 1 in Wasilla and 2 on the East Side of Anchorage. His Wasilla property has outperformed his Anchorage properties on all fronts.

    2) It really depends on what your doing with the property. Anchorage is a very "pockety" city, the market varies street to street in some areas. The UMed district, Lower Hillside, Oceanview, some parts of Jewel Lake, and Turnigan are some solid neighborhoods. 

    3) I don't have much on this one, I stick to local lenders.
