I'm new to real estate investing an hoping to connect with someone I can learn from. I am in the process of earning my RE brokers license and have capital to invest. Highly interested in STR in Clallam County near Olympic National Park and Victoria ferry but open to other opportunities. Multifamily, maybe?

Mortgage Loan Officer. He doesn't do much investing but he is the master of financing. We do all types of financing. We have over 170 lenders, tons of options, even hard money. He's schooling me on all that. I decided to get my license after I received a lot of inaccurate information when obtaining an investment property back in '23. Once I passed my courses I was like ehh maybe I'll take the exam, if I pass, maybe I can help some other investors out and avoid some of the problems I dealt with. If I can make a couple dollars doing it, even better! lol

    Welcome Frank! My mentor for my MLO work is from Washington state. I'm more into the investing and General contracting work though. If you want we could help you crunch the numbers if you ever have any questions. Our whole approach is no pressurized sales tactics. I'm on the east coast but im investing in a very similar way atm. STR in pocono mts.

    Hi William! If willing, it would be great to connect with your mentor. Where in Washington is he located? What is MLO?

    I'll PM you his info if you like. He doesn't do much investing, but he has done some. He's a little older than me. In his 50s, so he's more settled in right now lol. Where I'm still out chasing investment properties. He has a lot of experience with getting investors financing. So, I'm sure he would definitely be a useful resource for you moving forward. But again, if you want his info. We're all about no pressure. It's stressful enough, you don't need salesman on top of you all the time lol.

    Sounds like you're ready to dive in. While STRs near Olympic National Park are appealing, if you're open to out-of-state options, the Midwest has great multifamily and small STR-friendly properties that cash flow from day one. Tons of off-market, undervalued deals, and with the right local team for property management, contractors, and lenders, you can scale remotely without the usual headaches.

    Hi Frank from Tacoma, Washington-

    You are new to real estate investing and hoping to connect with someone to learn more about short-term rental (STRs) investing or other opportunities like multifamily.

    I understand you are interested in a market currently outside of the area we serve which is Michigan. However, we help many investors from around the country invest in STRs in Michigan, one of our best national referral groups sends high-income earners to us to help them buy STRs to reduce their W-2 and active income taxes with "material participation" hours helping manage the property and accelerating depreciation.

    We write on these topics and help investors implement this an other strategies like multifamily investing in Michigan.

    To Your Success!
