And commute..

Budget: 800 - 900 k

TC : 240k

You want a 800-900k not
Old SFH in a good school district without commute ? Not going to happen. You need to increase budget or be ok with commute

Redmond is reasonable price and very good schools (Educationhill, near Target etc...)

Redmond and east of there, assuming you don't want to live in the noisy cookie cutter planned city it's great

  Starting point is $1M however the school district is 💯 ... my wife is a relator- pm if you are seriously looking- she has some decent stuff right around $1M

  Oh nice. Thanks for the info. Unfortunately i am already working with a realtor and might not be able to switch now.
  
  But i will definitely keep in mind. So you are saying that getting tenants is easy in saamamish ?

  If you are asking these questions on blind then you need a new realtor- generally buyers aren’t locked in with specific brokers.... yes, very easy to get good tenants in Sammamish- it’s very competitive- our neighbor just rented his house out- had 4 applicants in first 24 hours

If you want a good location, schools, and rent market you may need to increase your budget...

  OK

  Just not increasing the budget since renting will be tough as the budget increases ...

  Renting is easy in desirable areas. Seattle, Bellevue, maybe Kirkland.

  OK that's good to know . may be Bellevue is having good potential then
  
  Since Seattle and Kirkland don't have good schools.

240k.. you can go upto 1.3-1.5m easily if you have down payment. Is your wife working? If that’s case, you can afford even better
