A second start from Olympia, Washington!

[Tyson Bumgarner]

Hi all! 

So I initially made this account a few years ago when I lived in Hawaii. Needless to say, I got discouraged by the very steep prices of real estate over on Oahu. Well, I'm back in my home state of Washington now, and after listening to just about every BP podcast while doing my commuting, I finally decided to get started again! 

I just finished the free webinar that Brandon Turner (I don't know how to do the link) put on. It was great! (and not just because I got a pro membership! Thanks again!) It had tons of great tips! I'm really excited for what my future holds. 

I guess I'll share some of my info and plans to close this post out. I'm 29, I have 3 children (2 boys, and a girl). I've been married for 6 years, and I've been in the Army for 10 (still serving at JBLM). I have 0 rentals as of right now, but I have been educating my self through the BP podcast and lots of books. My plan is to landlord buy and hold multi-family rentals, as many as I can get. I would love to be doing it full time within 2-3 years.

That's it for now. If you are anywhere in my area (Seattle and southsound) and know of a REIA or anything, or just want to say "Hi" please just message me! I would love to learn any and everything I can about real estate from anyone willing to share their knowledge! Thanks in advance!

I'm retiring from the Army in a few months. I'm currently in Korea but will be in the WA area by Nov. I wish I could go back 10 years when Bigger Pockets just got started and learn as much about real estate investing then. I would have had, realistically, about five rental properties with decent cash flow. Oh well...better later (not late) than never. I'm glad to see a fellow service-member is able to "see the light" and start taking control of his future, too.

Look forward to future posts and maybe we'll link up in an REIA soon. Happy investing!
