Excited new member is Washington!

[Brandon Johnston]

Hello BP world! 

My name is Brandon Johnston and I am from Auburn, Washington(about 20 minutes south of Seattle). I am a brand new investor actively looking for my first deal although I am realizing I am not doing a great job at staying persistent. I just started getting into investing towards the end of February where I attended a 3-day training through the Richdad Program, since then have taking a wholesale class and have read quite a few books on real estate investing, taxes, corporations, self motivating, etc. I actively listen to the bigger pockets podcast among others which keeps me motivated. I have created an LLC and got my state business license started and have started putting a business plan together(20% complete) and have found a few different strategies of marketing I am starting to use.

I am currently working full time as a machinist while scrounging up time during the rest of the week to get my business rolling. I have learned a great amount of information which I believe I have enough to get started(could have along time ago) and I believe this network will help me find the people in my area to take it to the next step. 

I am glad to be associated with you all and am excited for what the future has to offer for me!

Welcome @Brandon Johnston!  I am a newbie investor (as of last month) in Seattle, WA and am somewhat in a similar situation to yours.  I've actually attended that Rich Dad workshop a few years ago.  While there was some good information, I felt like it was thrown at me in bits and pieces and didn't really lay out a straight-forward plan, so I didn't end up buying their advanced training.

I have considered wholesaling, but to be really successful at it seemed to require a lot of time (to send out hundreds of letters and responding to phone calls), which isn't something that I thought I could do with a full-time job.  So I'm pretty much looking to flip.  I'd love to stay in touch and hear your progress on wholesaling :-)
