New to RE investing live in Seattle limited funds where to start?
I am currently renting and want to start investing, I have little cash and am in need of some direction. I live in Seattle, WA, and opportunities for a great deal are hard to come by, I've been looking at websites such as Realtor.com, Zillow, the MLS, etc...My ultimate goal is to get into multi-family properties. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of funds to allocate to my mailings just yet, so I can only do a small batch maybe 100 at a time. I can only qualify to finance about a $300,000 property, and that is tough to find in the Seattle area for any property. So, I started looking at buying a list, does anyone have a good search criteria recommendation for finding multi-family duplex, or should I consider starting out with SFR and find a way to house hack instead? I'm not sure what is the best criteria is to get biggest bang for my buck, are mailers a good way to start? Any suggestions?
