Young Seattle real estate agent, getting ready to invest.

I am a Real Estate agent in the Great Seattle area with an entrepreneurial spirit. One of my main objectives getting into Real Estate was to learn the ropes, so I could start making purchases of my own. I quickly realized this mentality of looking for investment potential for yourself as well as clients is not as common among other brokers as I would have expected. 

I have some goals around owning vacation rentals in the greater seattle area, long term (retreat center sort of idea) but am focused on trying to get my feet wet first. I have not purchased anything myself, but had a good first year in Real Estate, giving me some cash savings and making the picture of owning something fairly soon more of a reality. 

Excited to get started, even in a crazy market such as Seattle right now. Very interested in less desirable areas outside the city with less competition. Would love to hear from anyone on the best places to start?

Cheers,

Alex
