PM + Rental Properties WA

[Kyle Burton]

Hello!

BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT: 

My name is Kyle, from WA, I work overseas. In 1 year I will have $100k to invest in real estate, I'm interested in Rental Properties with property manager.

I have been reading articles and watching videos about how to invest in real estate, best ways to find deals, and the sort but I'm still unsure how I should start my rental property adventure.

Details:

Planning on putting at least $100k a year into rental properties, I will only be physically able to look at properties for a few months every year.

Questions:

1. Should I try to pay off one property asap then move to the next and and  build my portfolio that way, or should I purchase multiple properties at once?

2. I'm looking at places in WA, specifically college towns Bellingham, WA and Spokane, WA. What's the best way to get up to speed on your "market" and how do you find the sweet deals? Any tips or just look for forclosures/short sales??

Thank you everyone for your time in advance, would love to connect!

Respectfully,

Kyle Burton
