Greetings,
My name is Jeremy and I am in Fife, Wa, practically Tacoma. I am new to real estate investing as well as BP. I joined BP after falling in love with “The Book on Rental Property Investing” By Brandon Turner. Brandon was completely right when it comes to the fruitful conversations and massive knowledge available within current and previous threads.
I am eager to learn, network, grow and help in any way I can. Please feel free to connect and say hi! My interest and plans are long-term buy and hold in Multi-Family Residents, I would like to purchase within a few months if a good deal comes by. In the future, I strongly desire to invest in storage facilities and RV sites/parks.
Thank you all for your time and look forward to growing my network.

@Jeremy Hostetler the meet-ups vary. The one my wife and I have been to (Real People, Real Beer, Real Estate) meets the 2nd Thurs of the month in Tacoma. There is anothervin Bellevue I think it's called FOR Fixated On Real Estate. Next week Brandon Turner will be a guest (i think the 20th)

Hey there, @Jeremy Hostetler. Great to see you take that first and maybe most difficult step in real estate investment: reaching out on BiggerPockets. Congratulations and I wish you a ton of success.

Regarding Meetups. There's a new one called Hive-Mind that's associated with the WAREI facebook group and it's off to a good start. Also the longest running free one in the area, Cascadia Investor's Alliance meets each month in Lakewood at the Ram and there's a solid group that shows up for that.
@Jeremy Hostetler welcome to BP. My name is Mychael; I am also new to the site and reside with my wife in Pierce County, WA (Spanaway). We'll only be in Washington for a few more months, but we, nonetheless, intend on starting our investing here. Maybe we'll see you around! Also, thanks to everyone that has provided helpful information thus far.

@Jeremy Hostetler - Welcome to the site! It is a great place to connect with other like-minded investors. Brandon Turner's book is great and was one of the first real estate investing books I read.
