Welcome to BiggerPockets, Georgina! Have you decided on which market you'll be investing in and what strategy you'll use? A great starting point is to look for growing cities with strong rental demand. You should check out the midwest market. For new investors, starting with a turnkey cash-flow rental is a solid choice. Happy to connect with any questions you may have! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything

     Hey Georgina, I'm in a similar boat to you as well! I love to travel and try new things. Financial freedom has definitely through buying real estate has definitely allowed me to focus on that for sure!  

    I would definitely look into investing out of state in the midwest. That is going to be the best way.

    HI Georgina,

    Im also based in Seattle, WA as well and will be happy to connect. 

    You can always start off by house hacking meaning you live in one UNIT or ROOM and renting out the other vacant units/rooms to offset your monthly mortgage payment.

    There are several ways to run and make sure you are maximizing your rental income while keeping your living expense as low as possible. Try looking into zillow/Redfin and see what your potential rents you can get near the neighborhood by filtering the bedrooms/bathrooms of the intentional property that you are planning to buy. This will allow you give a reference point on how much potential rent you can receive. (Max vacated rents - your monthly mortgage payment) = +/- net cashflow. Happy to connect and assist you in your real estate investing journey.

    Happy to connect if you are interested to expand your portfolio
