Hello from Arlington WA

Hi everyone!  

I'm new to real estate investing in NW Washington state, but I have really enjoyed listening to the podcasts and reading (many) of the books from the reading list.  I think I can do this!

It would be nice to tie into a local REIA, if there is one in my area. I'd appreciate some help as I learn the BP ropes.

Thank you for having me.  I'm looking forward to learning more!

---Marty

    Hello! @Marty Houghton

    Welcome to BP, and congratulations on making the decision to invest in your future via real estate.

    I have written a few blog posts that may help you get started here on BP, and with your investing. Please click on the links, give them a read, and share your thoughts in the comments.

    First is a post that I feel will help not get overwhelmed with the amount of info that is here on BP:

    The second is a post that will help get you focused with your real estate investing goals:

    https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52743-im-new-to-bp-any-advice-would-be-appriciated

    The last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent. There are many agents out there, but it’s important to choose the right one.

    I have other blogs that may be helpful here on BP in my personal blog that you can check out. Good Luck :)
