One often ignored city is Vancouver, WA, which has amazing benefits:
-
No state income tax(CAVEAT: if you can work in the state of Washington)
-
Lower price points
-
A growing downtown and waterfront area that will add tons of value to the city
Buying in the right suburb can set up strong long-term equity growth. I’m happy to help discussing each of these neighborhoods and why they would make a great fit.
