Thank you Annie!  That is good information to pass along and I appreciate it!  I will definitely keep those things in mind.

Thank you guys so much for your responses!  Tatiana, I followed your advice and went downtown to the planning department yesterday to get more info.  It was a short meeting, but looks like there are a lot of possibilities for the property.   Ryan and Andrew, I will look into it further today with your suggestions of people to talk to, and I will check out the link too, thanks! 

The property is in a really great location with a bunch of condos going up close by, and an incredible view of Ranier from the front porch. 

If you guys know anyone interested in a development project for downtown Tacoma I'd love to talk to them.  I met with the Seller Sunday.  We might end up listing it, but she's very open to the idea of an off market deal.

Does anyone have any experience with DMU zoned projects/development in downtown Tacoma?  I met with a home owner today who has a property zoned DMU in downtown Tacoma.  I'm looking to get more information on the DMU zoned possibilities for a 4500 squarefoot lot.  That lot size could potentially double (vacant lot next door).  I would love to hear from anyone with experience, thoughts, or adivce on potential possibilites!

I'd like to piggy back on that question...anyone have a good electrician to recommend in Tacoma?

I can tell you what I have seen as an agent in the Tacoma market the past month.  I put in an offer on a 1500sf 3 bed 2 bath in Hiltop 2 weeks ago.  We competed agains 13 offers and it went for $45k over asking price.  The next week I put an offer on a very similar home a little further south in Tacoma and the house went for $25K over asking.  Hiltop seems to be taking off at the moment!  

Hi,

Looks like the post has been up a while, I'm assuming property already sold but wanted to check.

Thanks,

Kim

Hello BP friends!  I'm in the Seattle area wanting to buy my 1st investment property.  Was wondering if any of you fellow BP local investors have recommendations for places around here to look for good "buy and hold" rehabs.  I don't want to buy in Seattle proper, but within a 30 minute commutable (minus traffic) distance is the goal.  Shoreline, Everett, and Ranier Beach are on the list so far.  I would LOVE to hear any other places you think would be great for this kind of investment, and why you would recommend that location?
