I am a recent graduate and realized that my 9-5 won't cut it in order for me to achieve the goals I imagined for myself and my future family.

The present value of the future capital gains tax is probably quite low in comparison to the value of the cash invested in something with upside. 

I look forward to meeting you in the future!

borrowing money is cheaper now than it will prob be in the future. 

Future rent stream is considered in qualifying plus loan is based on ARV.

I've been interviewing property management companies in the area and have narrowed down to 3 companies I will work with in the future.

Hopefully we can help each other out in the future.

Amit - thanks for the post N Seattle / Greenwood  likely has lots more appreciation in the future IMO due to 1) relatively close proximity to downtown    2) future increased transit  options being  built presently ( light rail )  buying a " far off "  property  in order to pay for present rent  ….. 

@Roshan JainWelcome to BP, and congratulations on making the decision to invest in your future via real estate.I have written a few blog posts that may help you get started here on BP, and with your investing.

With that said, we've just arrived at Scott AFB in Illinois, which I hope will be our home for the foreseeable future... at least for the next 9 years until I retire anyway.
