Excited to be here. We're in Renton, Seattle & Everett, WA

Hi all!

Very excited to have people to talk to about real estate! I own two tattoo studios in Seattle and my first studio provided me the income to purchase a tiny 600 sq ft house in 2011. We lived in it and completely remodeled it from top to bottom over a year or so. Then we found a short sale on a duplex and it took 10 months for us to get into it but it's where we currently live. We've been remodeling our side of it for a while now and have a tenant in the other side that's been there since 1996.  We've had the same tenants in the 600 sq ft house since we moved out too so we've been very, very blessed (so far) being landlords.  We're about to close on another duplex up in Everett that already has tenants. We'll be closing on that on Valentine's Day if all goes as planned. We'd like to keep going from there and our next one will likely be a passive property out of state. Real estate investing makes my heart sing and, as you can see by the tattoos on my knuckles, I'm pretty excited to be a landlady. :)
