New Investor, Long Time Professional in WA
Hi everyone. I'm venturing into investing in real estate on my own account for the first time. I've been a real estate attorney for nearly 20 years and have worked through zillion issues, large and small, for clients. In the past, I've been hesitant to invest in real estate because my income and a good sized chunk of my net worth (my house) are already in the sector, but I love the field and it just makes more sense to me than trying to bet on other people's work (stocks). Looking forward to getting to know some good folks and to learning a lot.
