Hello,

Are there any investors in the Greater Seattle area who have used a turn key company they'd recommend? I'd be interested in hearing about your experience. Thanks!

Hello BP! I'm using this year to study market values in my admittedly broad target area (Thurston and Pierce Counties, WA), in preparation for making my first investment by the end of the year. 

Any input on how to go about studying value (selling prices, rental rates) in a given area? I'm looking for apartments 8-12 units, and Loopnet just hasn't been that helpful so far.

Also, are there any agents in this area who would be willing to discuss this with me?

(note: I am living in Roseburg, OR right now, but as a travel therapist, will be moving to WA very soon)

Thank you - I will take these things into account. Best to familiarize myself with a local market to start out, it seems. Thank you for the instructive posts!

Thank you all for your helpful input!

I am looking in Indy because my family lives there and I often fly in to Indiana to visit anyway. It will make my trips back to the Midwest dual-purpose.

In terms of criteria, I am looking for a small B house <$50,000 that rents for ~$500.

I am interested in finding a small SFR via turn key in Indianapolis this Spring. What are the questions I should be asking myself?

Hey Grant, thank you!

I am in Roseburg, just getting started with investing. I would love to play some Cashflow & meet some experienced investors!

Hey BP!

To manage other people's properties in the state of Washington, do you need to acquire a managing broker's license or simply a broker's license?

Hi Krysty, welcome! I am preparing to get my WA agent's license through online courses. Did you go the online route? Any tips on that process?

I'll leave that to Adrian, as I am at a distance now as well. Wishing you all the best as you carve your path there, Steven!
