My current project is the new house. I researched areas, prices, availability, etc for a month now and keep a running list of my top ten houses as I wait for the current house to sell. The hardest issue will probably be choosing between them, there's several I like for different reasons.

This house was grandfathered into commercial zoning and has two additional lots I could sell or use later. The interior looks good. It's off the Chehalis river and one mile from downtown Aberdeen. There's a bar, restaurant, market, bus stops and hardware store within a couple hundred feet. It has a storefront room with windows to the west, north, and east for an awesome office. I’d have to figure out if I could convert the mother-in-law extension into a garage, it's only 12 ft wide.

36 Etta Place, Hoquiam, WA 98550 | MLS #2179485 | Zillow
This 1364 square feet Single Family home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It is located at 36 Etta Place, Hoquiam, WA.

Technically in Hoquiam but really in Ocean Shores. It also comes with two other lots I could sell later. Ocean Shores has the same crime rate as Camas and there's a dozen restaurants within three miles. $300K is my top price, though and I’d probably take out a $30-40k loan for two years until the final estate payoff. Do Not Want. But two lots I can sell. 😀

417 SW Yorkmar Street, Ocean Shores, WA 98569 | MLS #2169923 | Zillow
This 816 square feet Single Family home has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It is located at 417 SW Yorkmar Street, Ocean Shores, WA.

Only five years old and very private, it's surrounded by high brush and trees. Restaurants only four miles away. They dropped the price $10K so I added it on the possibility it drops some more. Small but luxurious.
