New Beginning Investor from Kirkland (Seattle), WA

Hi all!

I'm new to the BiggerPockets forum - I found this site while trying to decide if I wanted to follow a guru program, and realized that this website could help me learn so much for free! Since then I've been listening to the BiggerPockets podcasts nonstop while I commute for my job as a broker.

I started my "investing career" when I was 14, when I worked for my dad cleaning and painting homes he purchased from HUD bids, and continued through the summers of my college education. I've learned a bit from that process, but haven't yet been able to step out on my own.

I'm living in Kirkland, WA, and would like to begin my investing career in King, Snohomish, or Island counties. I'm hoping to meet other successful and beginning local investors on the forums.

-Alissa

    @Alissa Wersal

    Welcome to BP. Nice to see another local jump in. Check out the "Learn" tab along the blue bar up top. Lots of great info. We're also relatively new to real estate investing. We picked up some SFRs during the housing downturn. Right now we've been switching gears working on cleaning up/organizing our primary residence and learning new REI methods now that the market has rebounded. Hope to see you around the forums.

    Hi @Alissa Wersal ! I'm new to BP and to REI in the King and Pierce County areas. I live in Auburn, WA.

    I'm going to do flipping and maybe later buy/hold. I have done both when I lived in AZ and have completed one flip in WA.

    Welcome! And, I wish you the best.
