Hello All- I have been a member here for several months and have just been lurking around and reading and reviewing the excellent forums and articles. I haven't posted yet and I figured now is a good as time as any.

Due to my job I move around alot, and recently moved to WA state Still getting to know the area, and my previous RE investing experience has been limited to moving to new area, buying a SFH and then renting it out when I depart. Currently have 5 homes (4 rentals (GA, NC, LA, CO)) and looking to be more active as I prepare to retire from my day job.

I have a couple of plans/ideas for my way ahead and looking forward to getting feedback from this community. It seems to be a pro-active positive community for both the beginning and experienced investor

I would recommend joining WLA (WA Landlord Association), but I have not attended any of their meetings yet. Tacoma's too far for me, but if you find something you like in Oly, let me know. If you have tenants who can't handle the on-line screening sites, WLA has a great screening program. And a vacation babysitting option (I have not tried this).
