This week on WSREIP we have a conversation with April Patterson, a realtor in the Skagit County area of Washington state, about real estate investing in the region. She highlights the unique aspects of Skagit County, it being a highly potential investment area due to its geographical location, situated about an hour drive north of Seattle and its proximity to military bases. Due to numerous military bases around, the region has a significant military and veteran population, creating consistent housing demand. April also elaborates on the importance of understanding the larger picture of a property's potential by learning to look past initial problems since it puts investors in a good position moving forward.
