Step 1: Define your investment thesis
SFR vs. multifamily, buy-and-hold vs. value-add, income now vs. appreciation later. Know what you’re solving for before you look at a single listing.
Step 2: Run the napkin math first
Rent ratio, 50% expense rule, yield gut check. If it doesn’t pass the fast filter, don’t spend three weeks underwriting it.
Step 3: Do the real due diligence
Actual rent comps, honest expense underwriting, exit scenario, who buys this after you and will lenders like it.
Step 4: Understand the local variables
Wells, septics, zoning, Washington rent caps, Kitsap micro-market patterns. The things that make this market different from the national advice you’ll find everywhere else.
Step 5: Manage and hold with a plan
Tenant screening, Washington landlord-tenant law, when to self-manage vs. hire out, when to sell vs. hold.
