Getting Started in Olympia, WA

[Skyler Chaney]

Hi all! I recently moved to the Olympia / Tumwater / Lacey Washington area and am ready to jump into my first real estate investment. I’ve been listening to the Bp podcasts for a while and I feel ready to jump in and start investing in real estate. Specifically, I am looking for a duplex or triplex to live in and rent out the other unit(s) and begin to “house hack.” The good news is that I quality for a great first time home buyer conventional loan to buy a multi-family property with 5% down. Now I just need to find a great deal so that the numbers will make sense and cash flow in this hot market (easier said than done)! I am preparing to begin a campaign knocking on doors and sending yellow letters to buy a multi-family home and would welcome any advice and/or encouragement you all have to offer. Thanks! Skyler
