New Investor in Washington State

[Taylor Gant]

Hey everyone, I am relatively new to the world of Real Estate Investing and am looking for tips or lessons you wish you knew when you were first starting out.

My goal is to be financially free as quickly as possible to allow my fiance to quit her job as we start to build a family. I have been reading many different books and still don't feel like I know enough to make my first deal.

Hoping to house hack for the next year or two as I build up my # of properties, but I'm very open to other strategies that have been successful for other investors starting out.

Any advice helps, thanks!
