Real Estate Investor / landlord/Retired CPA

[Charles Perkins]

I've been investing in real estate for over 30 years, brought and sold a dozen or more properties, and in the last 10 years been semiretired as a real estate professional.

Much of what my wife and I have learned has been through the school of hard knocks. Currently all properties are fully paid for SFRs.  

We will be doing a short plat soon and bringing sewer to a property in the next couple of years.  The short plat process can be quite time consuming.

We have worked with many real estate professionals over the years some great and others that were one offs.

@Charles Perkins Welcome! Sounds like you have a lot offer this group, and hopefully the members here can help you with their advice in return.

Just to introduce myself - I'm a real estate broker and have been helping buyers and sellers with their real estate needs for about 20 years. My wife and I own a few rentals in the Seattle area. It's our goal now to start purchasing additional buy and hold properties, but still consider ourselves newbies when it comes to investing.
