The Tacoma Market
What Drives Rentals In Tacoma
Tacoma is one of the Washington markets where we actively evaluate apartment buildings. Rental demand here is supported by Joint Base Lewis-McChord, the Port of Tacoma and logistics employers, and more affordable pricing than Seattle.
In Puyallup and Parkland as much as Lakewood, we are open to buildings with deferred maintenance, below-market rents, or occupancy problems.

Seller Guides
Selling In Tacoma? Common Situations We Handle
Tacoma Seller FAQ
Which parts of Tacoma do you buy in?
We look across the city and its surroundings — Lakewood, Puyallup, University Place, and Parkland — and we will review a property outside those areas on its own merits.
Why is Tacoma a good place to own rentals?
The renter base in Tacoma draws on Joint Base Lewis-McChord, the Port of Tacoma and logistics employers, and more affordable pricing than Seattle, which gives well-run apartment buildings a steady pool of tenants.
What if my Tacoma building has vacancies or deferred maintenance?
That is often where we add the most value. We buy buildings that need renovation, new management, or lease-up, and we account for that in our offer.
How does a sale to you work in Pierce County?
Send the address, unit count, and any financials. We give feedback, then a written letter of intent if it fits, followed by diligence and a closing date that works for you.
What should Washington sellers know about property taxes?
Washington assesses property annually at market value, and the state’s graduated real estate excise tax applies at sale. We model both the post-sale property tax and transaction costs when we prepare an offer.
