Learning about buy and hold in Seattle, WA

[Kelly McCandless]

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to be on Bigger Pockets and can't wait to meet you guys! I am a 21 year old construction management student at UW and currently work part time as a project engineer. I grew up in Federal Way, WA and work in the Bellevue/Seattle area. I have a great job waiting for me to graduate, but I would like to add real estate investing for financial security and passive income.

Buy and hold rentals interest me the most, and I plan on making my first purchase within 6 months of graduation. I have the funds for 20% down, but need a full time job to get approved for a loan, so graduation needs to come first. That and being a landlord while working and being a full time student seems unideal. I have a couple different plan options that seem viable, but I think I'll just need to see what's available when the time comes. I'll probable break them down at some point but that might make this post a touch long.

I'd love to hear from people in Western Washington. Thank you for read!
