Newbie from Shoreline WA

[Kari D.]

Greetings from Seattle! I live in the shoreline area of Seattle with my husband and have been listening to the bigger pockets podcast for months now as well as reading as much as I can about real estate (can you say Rich Dad Poor Dad?!) I finally decided to take the leap and join BP Pro so I could network and connect with others in my area. My goal is to build a passive income stream with SFR and multi family rentals, probably using the BRRRR method. We currently own our primary residence in Shoreline and are considering options how to make this work, Home equity line of credit? Private lender? Advice on how to get started with our first investment property with little savings and a bit of equity to work with are appreciated!

Currently I am seeking opinions/advice on where to invest around my area. My husband and I are willing to go anywhere from the Seattle area all the way to Bellingham, depending if we can make the numbers work for us. My main towns of interest are Everett, Marysville, Mount Vernon and Sedro Woolley (Snohomish and Skagit Counties). Anywhere north of Seattle makes sense to me since we go up north to Mount Vernon at least once a week and are familiar with these areas. Any investor agents familiar with these counties? Hit me up, I would love to connect!
