Business/ Real Estate Newsletter Recommendations

Alex Parker
Posted Feb 20 2023, 16:11

Hi all,

I just graduated from school (Go Cougs) and I know I've wanted to get into real estate for a while now. I've read some of the bigger pockets books and am a frequent podcast listener.

I'm now looking to explore/ analyze my local market (seattle) while saving up money for my first investment!

Been browsing for a good information source on local business news and events.

Does anyone have a recommendation on a solid Seattle business/ real estate newsletter to start reading consistently?

Thank you!

I'd recommend getting on the city planning email list. It'll show new development incentives, area renovation plans, and other info that may be pertinent in your real estate journey

Congrats on graduating! 

I really like to use macro trends to base my micro actions on. Wall Street Journal and The Economist are good ways to know what cycle we are in and how to move forward. If you have the time, try to friend a professional in the space that you can talk shop with from time to time. Dignified investors, lenders, or real estate agents can give you more in a 10 minute conversation than an hour of reading ever will.
