Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm still just learning and trying to get a sense of what qualities of a market I should look for when deciding what cities to focus on. I'll reach out when I have a clearer sense of what these are and where I'd like to search!

Hi Marnie! Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm open to local properties as long as the numbers work out, but the price-to-rent ratio here doesn't seem very profitable. Maybe I'm mistaken though, so I'd love to hear about what areas you've looked at and found success in!

Hi All, 

I'm a 27 year old Software Engineer living in Seattle, and am looking to begin my real estate investment journey after listening to the Bigger Pockets podcast!

My goal is to gain cash flow that can eventually be used to increase the freedom and financial independence in my life. 

My local area is pretty unaffordable investors just starting out, but I don't want to sit on the sidelines so I'm learning about buying and renting properties out of state! I currently own my primary residence near University of Washington and plan to rent that out when I eventually move. If anyone has similar stories, I'd love to hear about how you got started and navigated all the uncertainties with buying properties out of state.

Outside of investing, I love playing classical piano, driving (I frequently volunteer at Porsche Club of America events here), and dancing, so feel free to connect with me about those things as well :)

Have a prosperous New Year, 

-Julio
