Gold Miner from Washington
Hello World!
My name is John and I'm from North Seattle. I was inspired to becom an investor after reading Rich dad Poor dad and it inspired me to sign up for the Rich dad coaching program in July of 2014. It was helpful for sure, but BP is invaluable.
I work as a Gold miner two thirds of the year in south east Alaska where I listen to podcast while drilling. I closed on my first duplex in Auburn Washington three weeks ago! I use an FHA loan and I occupy one of the units. Auburn is south of Seattle in a territory I'm not familiar with but the properties are cheap (just outside to Seattle bubble) and the rental rates are high. Auburn used to be a ghetto AKA war zone but its up-and-coming these days. Downtown is being revamped, new schools are being built and my duplex that I purchased for 190k has great value potential. I'm excited, I'm cash flowing, and I feel like they got off on the right foot.
Auburn WA is my new Home and my plan is to educate myself about the market, get in touch with the community and make Auburn my new investment grounds. I would love to put together a meet up group and find ways we can connect and support each other in the investment community.
Cheers,
