New Real Estate investor (wannabe) from Seattle, WA! Greetings!

[Jan Wanot]

Hi guys,

My name is Jan (pronounced Yawn). I'm a Polish born, Seattle bred guy currently working in Aerospace Finance in Frankfurt, Germany! I'll be flying back home to Seattle in July where I will work in Airline Contracts for at least the next year.

During this time, I will be aggressively saving for my first investment property. I paid off 20k in student loans last year, so my goal is to save another 20k this year for a down payment/closing/light renovation/ect. My salary is 65k gross. 

Currently, I'm doing a ton of reading on the forums, and with e-books. Thanks @Brandon Turner! Next steps are to build my budget/savings plan/business plan. I'm initially attracted to "B or C level" 4 plexes. We'll see if Seattle has something up it's sleeves for me :)

My longer term goals are to hit 1MM+ in assets by 30 (exactly 4 years and 359 days from today), and to be able to eventually help stimulate Polish economy through investment in educational infrastructure. As a precursor to that goal, I am currently loving teaching business basics, and mentoring, and spend a considerable amount of my free time doing so!

Thank you all for your contributions to this site, and I look forward to our positive and successful interactions!

Jan Wanot
