New Investor in Tacoma, WA
Hi All,
I'm a new investor from Tacoma, Washington looking to invest in long term buy and hold properties.
Currently, I am house hacking and rehabbing my primary residence, and have realized it is actually something I very much enjoy. A colleague awakened me to BP last month, and I've been perusing the forums, listening to the podcasts, and reading books, realizing this is a larger community than I had ever imagined.
I am 6 months to a year out from aggressively searching for a portfolio property, as most of my off-work time is spent rehabbing my primary home, but I am actively searching for a team, particularly a GC, plumber, and a CPA with the mind of a teacher. I am still keeping eyes open for deals that pop up in the interim.
My partner and I have experience in managing commercial building projects, and we are interested in rehabbing a SFH for our first property- we have identified a few key streets in McKinley Hill, Lincoln, and Hilltop that we are interested in. After an initial SFH rehab and hold, we would like to capitalize on the economies of scale and invest in quads and tri plexes.
I would love to connect with any Tacoma or South Sound investors that could offer incite to our community, as well as anyone investor with words of wisdom and advice. Thanks, all.

Welcome to BP!
I am a fellow investor in the Tacoma area. My wife and I own a couple units in Parkland near PLU that cash flow pretty well. I'm happy to chat with you about the area! I also recommend the monthly meet up group in Lakewood. Shoot me a PM or email and we can go from there!
