Aloha from Seattle

Hey everyone, thanks for having me. My wife and I are interested in entering the landlord business, and no time like the present, right? I'm a software developer and she's a social worker, we live in Shoreline with our two boys (age 2 and 4). We bought our home just over a year ago. I was born and raised here in Seattle, but most of my family is on Oahu. My wife is from the Los Angeles area, but we met on the beautiful island of Kauai. We are both total newbies to real estate, but are willing and eager and have been devouring information.
