My husband and I have a buy-and-hold house up in Lynnwood. We bought it back in 2011 and have enjoyed the value increasing over double what we initially paid. Because my husband is in the Army, our investment strategy has had to adapt to meet the military lifestyle. While I’ve seen many military turn their residences into rentals as they move to their next station, I have found it more lucrative for us to do live-in-flips so we can roll cash over into the next investment rather than have multiple properties spread out over the country. Our long-term plan is to roll over enough cash to buy Seattle area properties for buy and hold. We plan to settle in the Seattle area after his military career is over.
