My frugal plan to cut my housing costs in Bay Area: Move to OR/WA

[Susan Tan]

Here’s my potential frugal plan to drastically reduce my housing costs in Bay Area. On Thursday begins Plan A, I’m gonna ask for a raise at my current W2 full-time software engineering job, and plan B, if that raise gets declined, I’ll ask to move my job WFH full-time to OR/WA, and if that fails, I start job searching for a WFH full-time software engineering job & also visit multifamily property in OR/WA. In next 2 years, I’ll watch real estate prices go down in a Great Recession as the world economy collapses & then save up massive cash to scoop great multifamily deals for house hacking & as a real estate investor.

2 questions:
1.What can possibly go wrong? Is this a bullet-proof plan?
2. If you're a realtor or property manager who can find me good multifamily deals for house hacking in Beaverton, Tigard, Hillsboro, Portland eastern suburbs, or in Vancouver, WA, please message me to set up an intro zoom video call. For a personal multifamily residence, I prefer a neighborhood that has public transport connections into Downtown Portland. I plan to visit OR & Vancouver this summer to figure out which neighborhoods to invest in.
