New Investor from Oak Harbor in Whidbey Island, WA.
Hello everyone! My husband (Brian) and I are new investors in Whidbey Island, WA. We purchased our first duplex last year and are gearing up for our next property. I work as a Finance Manager for a government contract and Brian is a welder at a local refinery. We are both Navy veterans and are working on the next chapter of our life. I recently earned my Washington Real Estate Broker’s license which I have placed in inactive status for now, and Brian is working on his Home Inspector license.
We are in the early stages of our goal to produce passive income through buy and hold rental properties. Honestly, every aspect of real estate interests me and I have yet to zone in on one area. For those of you who have narrowed your focus, may I ask you how you did so? Is your focus a result of assessing the needs of your local community, or did you already know your area of interest before getting started?
I am so happy to have stumbled upon Bigger Pockets and this incredible community of like-minded people. Thanks in advance for any insight and it’s great to meet you!

What an awesome community....been listening to the podcast for a while, but never dove into the website. It's awesome to see that we have some locals with like-minds! I have been selling single family residential for about 5 years now, and starting to get into the multi-family inventory...some of these webinars have opened my eyes to all the different ways to acquire and sell real estate. I've been inside the box too long!!
If anyone organizes a meet-up here on Whidbey, let me know!
