New real estate investor in the Olympia Washington area!

[Collin Savunen]

Hey everyone! 

My name is Collin Savunen. I am a 25y.o. welder and national gaurdsman in Shelton Washington. I spent 5 years in the Marines in Hawaii, Okinawa, and korea before I got here. 

My goal in life is to have schedule freedom. So I can spend more time with my wife and son and my very large extended family. 

I am wanting to do buy and hold investing with due/tri/fourplexes in the Thurston county+ area. In order to replace my working income and as a precurser to cash flow during retirement.

I am also very interested in fix and flips as a hobby to do with my wife.

My real estate goal is to replace me ~$34,000 income by the time I am 30. (That might be pushing it but if I just miss my goal then I have set my goal right.)

I am good with people and numbers and I am not good with legalities (so I am doing alot of focus on that here on BP and in my own studies) 

I also saw I just missed the Olympia REI Meetup when will the next one be?
