Brand new into real estate investing (WA State)

[Mike Lisenby]

What's going on everybody!

I'm brand new to this site and the real estate game as a whole. I'm looking for advice on a direction to get started in the buy/hold game. My goal is to eventually have between 3-5 or more paid for properties for passive cash flow over the next 15 years. I'm 28yo, married, with a great job and am debt free other then my primary residence. I am torn with how I want to go about financing my purchases because I really believe in saving up and paying cash for properties over time with the primary driver in that is the low risk of not carrying several notes. Advice? Tips?
