Hi, one and all! 

My name is Robert Spears, my beautiful wife, Jasmine, and I live in the Seattle, WA area. I grew up in Auburn WA and my wife in Tacoma WA. We are looking into rental properties in the Tacoma area mostly and a few other areas and I have been trying to do my due diligence in researching and learning first before starting to buy. I have had interest in real estate for a long time and had opportunities here and there but it had never been the right time. After talking with people here and there I've heard about bigger pockets and started to look into the awesome community here but was a bit intimidated at first, never really committing to starting anything. Now that me and my wife are starting to prepare to buy our first place and stop renting I have started with listening to podcasts, reading books, like rich dad poor dad, and trying to get a finical plan going to get us ready for investing! 

I currently am employed as a drywall finisher in the union. I have done drywall in and out side of the union. I have experience with residential as well as commercial drywall. I have loved buildings and always wanted to have my own house but now I want more then just my own house! 

I am excited to start to be apart of the community here on BP and a little overwhelmed but one step at a time! I do have a newbie question of where I should look for community here in WA and where I should start finding a team to help me and my wife buy our first rental property?
