@Isaac Hobbs do you have any recommendations for markets near Tacoma that have bigger returns on rentals?

@Isaac Hobbs thanks for the feedback! It’s nice to hear from someone in the area.

I’m new and working on my start up strategy. I currently rent and can get my fIrst purchaae with a VA or FHA loan. This is ideal as I have about 15k cash to purchase. Making my purchase with the VA or FHA requires me to live there for a year, correct? So my plan is to buy 2-4 multi family home and rent out the units while living in one. Living in the Tacoma area makes this a pricey strategy. Can anyone with experience in expensive areas starting on their first purchase offer advice? Is it ok if I’m not making money off the rental so long as I can make large payments and then cash out refi after a year? I have a job that gives me a decent surplus of savings so I can afford to expensive than I currently pay, I will also being doing this with my partner.

@Brandon L. Appreciate the reply and shared links!

I’m a new Real Estate Investor, currently working on expanding my knowledge. I have a short term goal of making my first deal within the next year, and a long term goal of owning 100 units within the next 8 years. Looking to get to know like minded people, learn from others, and talk about a similar passion of investing.
