State housing market in Seattle, WA and surrounding areas

[Daniel Matthew]

Hello everyone.

I am new to real estate investing. i have been listening to the podcasts and reading the forums on here. I'm starting to looking into getting my first deal but I live in the Seattle area. I was just wondering if it's a good market to get cash flowing properties or to do a flip? If it isn't, where do you guys think is a good place to invest right now?

Also, I'm fresh out of college with quite a bit of student debt. I do have a full time job as an engineer that pays well. How do you guys suggest I get started? I'm leaning towards doing a flip but I don't think my chances of getting a mortgage are that great right now with less than a year of work experience and student loans. Please advice

I lived in Seattle for 14 years and started with two rentals there however for those living in a primary market and being a high paid professional turnkey rentals are the way to go to get started in Birmingham, Atlanta, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Memphis, Little Rock, Jacksonville, Ohio, or other secondary or tertiary markets.
