New to Washington
Hello, My name is Justin Holley. I moved to Washington from the Northeast (Vermont) in September 2014. I am just now (Nov 2015) finally settling in and am anxious to get started investing in Washington. I have lots of education on the topic and have had success with the deals I have done. However, I feel that I have not done as many deals as I would like. My goal is to build a diverse portfolio of rental properties for all the reasons we investors love to talk about. I feel that often my day job gets in the way of having enough time to find my next deal, as I am constantly working 60-70 hours a week building my financial planning business, which is also a huge passion of mine although the amount of scrutiny and regulations we honest advisors are under is tremendously draining.
I look forward to attending meet ups when possible and building friendships along the way.
Thank you,
Justin Holley

Forgot to mention that for Meet-Ups, @Kevin C., @Troy Fisher, and @Tiffany Plovie are your connections to the local meet-ups. You just missed the south-end meet, but they are held once a month and attract a good group of local investors.
