New Investor Shoreline Washington
Hello Everyone,
My name is Mark and I currently live in Shoreline WA. I'm originally from San Francisco but moved to Washington state five years ago. I'm fairly new to investing, I have one rental property (Condo) that I bought a year and a half ago, which I make a modest cashflow from. I mainly want to focus on buying and holding properties. I would like to make enough positive cashflow monthly to walk away from my job, which is in the information technology field. I like working in IT, but in having a job I don't feel like I have much control over my financial future. I would like to learn how to successfully build a real estate portfolio that will enable me to eventually quit my job and gain more control over my financial life. Thank you BiggerPockets for creating such a great platform and I look forward to learning and sharing with all of the BiggerPocket members.
Thanks
Mark
