Dogs love to play at the beach too! | The San Juan Islands offer a wide variety of activities and lots of them can be enjoyed year round. Many of the "things to do" are marine oriented including boating, kayaking, whale watching and diving. There are great parks and beaches to explore on foot, and bicycles and mopeds are popular in the summertime. We have movie theatres, live theatre with music and play, and local museums.

While it is impossible to predict what a particular house will be worth at any point in the future, single family homes have a track record of being excellent investments. If you want to take the plunge, what should you look for in an investment property?
Location is the prime factor. A great location will make a property easier to rent or sell later on for top dollar. You should also consider the cash flow situation. It is often difficult to break even or show a profit from your rental income for the first few years of owning a property. Assuming the property will appreciate as you own it, you should consider the potential amount of equity you will build up each year. If you are planning to become a landlord, it is a good idea to consult a real estate agent and an accountant to help make sure that your decision to purchase investment real estate is an informed one.
