New Member...in Spirit. (Seattle, WA)

[Mark D.]

I grew up with no understanding of how money worked. I worked hard but in spite of my efforts I always failed to budget or save. Eventually, I scribbled out what it was that I wanted in life. Family, friends, retirement, financial security… and most of all happiness. When I looked back, all that I saw was one poor decision after another. So, I started to clean it up.

I had none of the tools, so I learned. I had none of the discipline, so I started with small habits that could grow. So, when I first found BiggerPockets in 2018, I was not ready… But over the last 3 years I’ve put both my labor and my education to work. I’ve increased our household income by 110%, cleared debts, saved for the unexpected, and have built a solid floor to stand on. Now, I’m looking to grow my wealth through Real-Estate investing… I just want to say thank you, to all for you that support new and old members alike. You are the real heroes.

Located in Seattle, WA but focused on long-distance investing. Not opposed to local if the deal is right. Looking for Single/Multi Family homes to buy, rehab, rent, and hold/flip. I’m solid at research, spotting deals, analyzing deals, and working with others. But most importantly, I have time and good instincts.
