New guy in Tacoma, WA
Hello everyone!
My name is Eric and I currently reside in the Tacoma, WA area. I grew up in Louisiana and I've lived in WA state for about 11 years now with 9 of that living in the Spokane area. I bought my first property when I was much younger and it turned out to be one of the best "accidental" decisions I could have made in my young life. I still own the single family property and I now rent it out.
I will build my portfolio of buy and hold properties to develop a passive income of 5k a month as my primary business goal. I've given myself a time period of 5 years to make this happens as I have a primary job in which I love and want to take my time and really understand what I am doing in the RE game.
I want to do this buy purchasing a mix of multi-family and single family homes, my primary focus is on multi-family at this juncture, and I am currently on the prowl for my first multi-family home in the Tacoma area.
I look forward to participating more in this community and gaining the knowledge I will need to be successful.
Happy Investing!
