Just hit $70,000 savrd as a student in Seattle, what now?

[Kelly McCandless]

I just hit the savings goal I wanted to hit before graduating in June. I’ll start work full time in September and make $79,000. I’d like to do rentals but Seattle is looking like it’s about to crash.

Do I buy locally in a less expensive area?

Do I just do 20% down or shoot for something bigger at closure to 10-15%?

Should I go out of state?

Are there any classes I should take?

Sorry for the newbie questions, I appreciate any advice you have!
