Newbie From Seattle, Washington

[Leonel Castellano]

My name is Leonel Castellano but I go by Leo. I’m currently living in Seattle, WA. I work at a direct marketing agency down town as a data analyst. I’m engaged and will be getting married to my fiancé in the following year. My fiancé is currently in law school at Seattle University. I’ve read many books by Robert Kiyosaki and I’m always looking for real-estate books at my public library to read.

I want to fully commit to becoming a real estate investor. I wake up at 5:00 AM to watch webinars and read real estate books because I can only read and do so much after work. Any specific books that people recommend is always appreciated.

My initial goals in real estate is to start with a small multi-family investment that I would live in as well. I have also considered using a 203k FHA loan to buy a home with some work needed that my fiancé and I could live in. We could refinance later, rent out rooms or flip. This would allow me to free up some of my income so I could leverage that into acquiring more real estate. Any and all advice on making any of these two things happen is greatly appreciated!

I was thinking about going to one of the local real estate investment groups in Seattle and an Expo later in July so I could meet local investors.

I want to make new friends so please feel free to reach out It would be awesome to connect!
