Starting Out in Seattle

[Corban Anderson]

Hey Team,

I’ve been diving deep into real estate investing over the last couple of months, but feel pretty overwhelmed while looking in Seattle, WA. Anyone out there have much experience in single family, or multifamily properties in Seattle?

Have folks from Seattle invested in properties out of state?

I’d love to jump on a call and learn more if someone is willing to help and share their story!

Thanks,

Corban

Hey @Corban Anderson - we invest in both long term and short term rentals in the Seattle area, both within and outside city limits. The regulations here can definitely be onerous, but if you screen tenants well and keep your head down Seattle is still a viable place to invest. 

John's house hacking recommendation is a great one - we acquired three of our six rental properties through house hacking, and its far and away the best strategy for someone just getting started in REI. Happy to hop on a call to chat more about that, or any other strategy with you. Cheers and welcome!
