New Seattle and King County Investor

I'm located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, but am originally from Seattle, Washington and am aiming to invest in the greater Seattle and King County area. My goal is long term passive income, and thus I'm learning as much as possible about buy, rent, and hold strategies. I am open to buying turn-key, rehabbing, or developing new construction; with a focus on 1-4 unit properties. I highly prefer conventional financing if possible, but am exploring other options for properties that require rehab before then refinancing into a conventional mortgage. I want to stay in the high end market in order to maximize the cash flow per deal and reduce the amount of total property management required. In the short term I'm working to increase my knowledge about real estate investing and the markets I want to invest in, create opportunities for capital, and monitor for deals.
