Newbie investor from Bellevue, WA

Hello, everyone!

Been lurking for a bit, since I am too new to add much yet. But I figure it's time to introduce myself anyway. :)

I am so thankful to be here, with access to good information and new relationships! I found Bigger Pockets via a friend of mine who is already a successful landlord (with properties in WA and AZ) and BP junkie. 

I live in Bellevue, WA, where my husband and I own our first and only property -- our single family home. We have talked for years about buying a second home, and I'm finally ready to get serious about making it happen. In fact, the more I read, the more I realize we were thinking WAY too small! 

So I am here to learn about all aspects of real estate investing, but first and foremost I am interested in buy-and-hold rentals. My goal is to maximize our financial freedom over the next 15-20 years, though I haven't set numerical goals yet.  I suspect that we will initially invest in turnkey properties with professional property managment, because we have no background in any industry remotely related to real estate. [Both of us work(ed) in healthcare.] But I am open to adding other strategies over the long term, and to thinking bigger than single family units.

I hope to meet some of you at local events, and chat with others here as we all take this incredible journey. Thanks for the community, @Joshua Dorkin and for the podcast, Josh and @Brandon Turner! Cheers!

@Jennifer King welcome to BP! and yes, don't think small... it takes just as much energy to think small as it does to think BIG!
