Newbie in Seattle

[Gallagher Wilson]

Hi all! Been lurking on here a few weeks.  My wife and I are closing on our first buy/hold rental in Shoreline (N. Seattle suburb) in two weeks.  I've been pouring over the site trying to glean all that I can.   My interest in real estate is fairly broad: I'd love to end up with several buy/hold rentals for long term income stream, but also have interest in flipping.  I grew up remodeling with my dad, and so I have a good basis for the technical, and love the numbers/business side as well.

I'm really interested in connecting with local wholesalers, contractors and potential mentors on the flipping side of things.  For buy/holds, I'm working with my uncle who's been a long time buy/hold investor in Seattle.

So awesome to have the community and knowledge base here for all of us learning the game!
