Home Sweet Investment: Building Equity in Vancouver, WA

By Carrie Struss, August 10, 2023

After an extensive two-year search, my client Rachel has finally found the perfect property to call her new primary home. But that’s not all! She’s a visionary investor, aiming to add sweat equity and transform this house into a rental for long-term gains.

Throughout her search, Rachel left no stone unturned, exploring various areas of Vancouver to find the ideal location with promising growth, accessibility, and long-term potential.

Now, she’s gearing up to embark on the next chapter! Over the coming months, Rachel will work on general cosmetic updates, creating a comfortable home for herself while ensuring the best return on investment for future renters and eventual buyers.

Rachel’s ultimate goal is ambitious and exciting! She plans to expand her rental portfolio by acquiring another property, steadily building equity for the future while embarking on an enjoyable project.

The journey has just begun, and I can’t wait to see Rachel’s remarkable progress and success as she sets her sights on future investments! Let the adventure begin!
