Hi everyone, I’m Joey. I work in SEO and digital marketing for GPS Renting, a residential property management company serving the Greater Seattle area.
A big part of my work involves researching the local rental market, creating educational content for property owners, and understanding the questions landlords are actually asking about leasing, pricing, tenant screening, maintenance, regulations, and property management.
I joined BiggerPockets because I’d like to learn directly from landlords, investors, and other real estate professionals, especially those active in Seattle and the Eastside.
I’m also hoping to contribute where I can by sharing useful rental market data, SEO and marketing insights, and observations from the property management side of the industry.
Looking forward to connecting with everyone. If you’re investing or managing rentals in the Greater Seattle area, I’d especially be interested to hear what challenges you’re seeing in the market right now.
Welcome, Joey. I’m up in the Pacific Northwest too, and I’ve been spending a lot of time digging into the same Greater Seattle questions from the investor side.
What you’re describing is actually useful because there’s a pretty big gap between the way rental markets get described in reports and what owners are dealing with property by property. Pricing gets most of the attention, but
I keep seeing the harder questions show up around operating costs, tenant quality, maintenance, regulation, insurance, and whether a property still makes sense after you price all of that honestly.
The Eastside is especially interesting because two properties that look nearly identical on paper can behave very differently depending on the tenant pool, commute patterns, school district, property condition, and exactly where they sit.
So definitely stick around. If you’re bringing actual rental data and observations from the management side rather than just marketing material, I’d be interested in seeing what you’re finding.
@Joey Jarbonido Welcome, Joey! The Seattle/Eastside market is definitely an interesting one to keep an eye on.
Since you work closely with landlords and investors, you’ll probably come across plenty of owners looking to expand or refinance. I help investors with lending options for rental and investment properties. If you ever come across someone looking for financing, feel free to connect with me. Happy to be a resource! 👍
