Post: Thoughts on Oyhut Bay, Ocean Shores, WA

We just moved to Manette, WA and took a weekend trip to Ocean Shores. Interesting town with run down shacks next to mansions and vacant lots—and you can drive on the beach?! Anyway, I haven’t been able to find any recent posts about Ocean Shores (is that a sign)? Wondering if anyone has had any success with the short term/ vacation rental market?. It appears as if the only “legally zoned” nightly vacation rentals are in Oyhut Bay and those properties are selling for less than they did in 2016.

@Frank Wong @Simon W. Thanks for the questioning of what a “deal” means to me. Clearly I was short sighted in thinking we were all looking for the same thing. As a newbie, are there certain types of “deals” that I should focus on to get started? I’m more interested in cash flowing rentals vs flips...

Hi, new to BP and I‘m wonderIng how I’ll ever be able to find a deal? If a deal makes sense, then I can‘t be the only person runnIng numbers and thinking it’s a good deal. Is it wrong to assume the “market is smart”, generally has access to all the same info I do (maybe more), and snatching all the good deals up? I’m all about being positive, but I think reality is a good perspective as well. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
