Architect --> reDeveloper / reInvestor - Seattle

[David Edwards]

Hello Bigger Pockets Community,

I am an architect working in the Seattle area who has begun to feel like I'm on the wrong side of things in the built environment. Like many of the people I've been listening to on this websites podcast and others I've been searching for forms of passive income with the intent of choosing to work as opposed to needing to work to just cover rent and bills. Not sure how real estate didn't occur to me before this as a form of passive income but here we are.

I know a good deal about how buildings go together and navigating jurisdictions but I'm new to the financial side of things and am excited to dig into this site and other resources to develop my more holistic understanding of the built world. If anyone has some advice on first steps to pass along to a newcomer (aside from reading through the forum for similar threads) it would be much appreciated. 

If you are near Seattle there might even be a cup of coffee in it for you. 

Thanks for the read,

-Dave
