New Member from Seattle area looking for any guidance/advice
My name is Mike and I'm 32 years old, currently an outside salesmen but interested in gathering real estate knowledge as a tool to eventually reach financial freedom.
I already own a rental up north that was my first home purchase that I decided to keep rather than sell once I moved to Seattle.
A strength that I would have coming into the game is that I am a handy man, capable of almost any repair in a timely and very cost effective manner. Also, I am blessed to have as much as $150,000 cash capital to start with.
Obviously there is a lifetime of knowledge to be learned, but with my skills I was thinking single family homes, or muti-family homes would be a good option for me, however very open to advice.
Also wondering what would be the smartest financial way to go about it given my cash capital. I would love to hear what people in my shoes with my money would do if they were me. Thanks in advance for any advice or guidance you can provide.

Welcome to BP. With a background in handy work, you may want to look into the BRRRR strategy.
