New Investor from Seattle

[Russell Alton]

Hello Everyone,

I am a new investor from the Seattle area looking for a way to retire. I am 48 now and I figure that I will need somewhere between 40 and 50 doors to retire at the same level of life that I am living now. Right now I have a vacation rental on Anderson Island, WA, but no other rental properties. I have a great W2 job now, but not enough in savings to plunk down on a property right now. Doing a lot of learning and searching around the country for the right spot to start investing. I like Kansas City and Missouri in general, but I am still looking around.

I am really looking for people in Seattle to talk to about investing away from our home town, what works, what doesn't, what questions should I be asking about these properties, etc.

Thanks for reading and really excited about being a part of the community.

Russ
