Hello from Seattle! Looking to build cash flow from long-term rentals

[Julio Medina]

Hi All, 

I'm a 27 year old Software Engineer living in Seattle, and am looking to begin my real estate investment journey after listening to the Bigger Pockets podcast!

My goal is to gain cash flow that can eventually be used to increase the freedom and financial independence in my life. 

My local area is pretty unaffordable investors just starting out, but I don't want to sit on the sidelines so I'm learning about buying and renting properties out of state! I currently own my primary residence near University of Washington and plan to rent that out when I eventually move. If anyone has similar stories, I'd love to hear about how you got started and navigated all the uncertainties with buying properties out of state.

Outside of investing, I love playing classical piano, driving (I frequently volunteer at Porsche Club of America events here), and dancing, so feel free to connect with me about those things as well :)

Have a prosperous New Year, 

-Julio
