Hello BP Investors!

I'm a new investor looking for rentals in the Tacoma/Seattle area but using the criteria that the experts recommend it seems like nothing is a good deal. I have been looking at multi-family homes (some single family as well). So far it seems if it's on the MLS it's not a deal. Starting to wonder if I should be looking at other real estate strategies (or other geographic areas)?

Any tips from local investors on how to make this work?
