Seattle Washington area investing
Looking for any and all advice on getting into real estate in the greater Seattle area I'm brand new at this and have a long way to go till I purchase my first investment however my first I plan on being a duplex or larger multiplex to reside in one of the units while I work towards more property's. I'm leaning more towards buying and hominid route vs flipping however I am curious if flipping would be a good way to build up capital for my first property to buy and hold again any and all advice is greatly appreciated
Thank you in advance

@Wesley Robirds - There are definitely still some good small multi-family (2-4 unit) deals left in the Greater Seattle area. It just depends on where you are looking and what returns you are trying to achieve.
One piece of advice I give a lot of new investors: Network and build a strong team around you! Having knowledgeable people helping you will vastly increase your chances of success.
