New Guy in Snohomish County/North of Seattle

[Donavan O'Donnell]

Hi, I’m new to BiggerPockets. I’ve been listening to the podcast and I’m really interested in investing in Multi-family properties. I haven’t done any REI before, but I’m about to sell my home this summer (purchased in 2012) and should have a large chunk of cash to invest with. It’s hard to find a good Four-plex for less than $1 mil. I feel like it should be cheaper to buy a small piece of property and do new construction. Does anybody know of trustworthy contractor in the Snohomish County area? Or possibly Island County? My family and I are considering moving to Whidbey Island. The commute wouldn’t be so bad from my work(Boeing). Anything helps. Thanks.
