New Member from Seattle, WA!

[Andrés Aguilar]

Hi Bigger Pockets Community,

My name is Andres and I'm a new member at Bigger Pockets. I graduated 2 years ago from Florida State University, and moved from Florida to Seattle, WA to work as a software engineer. I've always been somewhat interested in real estate investing, but that interest grew much stronger as I started working, saving up money, and became friends with an investor. Due to the highly expensive real estate market in Seattle, I want to invest in an out-of-state, long-term rental property. Below are some of the markets that caught my eye:

- Oklahoma City, OK

- Brownsville, TX

- Columbus, OH

My goal with Bigger Pockets is to learn from and engage with the Bigger Pockets community. I hope to make meaningful connections with like-minded individuals and contribute to each other's success. 

Nice to meet you all!

Best,

Andres

You are correct Andres, our local market here is expensive. For sure appreciation, and if we are creative (Airbnb, split level homes, rent by the room, ....) we can also get very good cash flow.
