Out-of-State Investor from Seattle

[Listiarso Wastuargo]

Hi folks, my name is Listiarso from Seattle. I am a software engineer with a full-time job (W-2 earner here!) with MASSIVE interest in investing (stocks, real estate, private businesses and startups). I've been investing in real estate for the last 2 years, currently owning 12 units of properties (hopefully 25 units in next 2 weeks) out of state (Memphis, Milwaukee and Chicago are my market).

My main strategy is BRRRR, slow-BRRRR (BRRRR but buying it with conventional financing, rehab the units, and refinance after seasoning period) and buy and hold in C / C- neighborhood in high cash-flowing area, focusing on Section 8. My goal is to get to 100-200 units, hopefully in the next 2 years with aforementioned strategies.

I've been listening to Biggerpockets since the beginning of my real estate investing journey and it has been very influential to my real estate career journey. I am joining the forum since I would love to network and contribute back (it's my aspiration to show up in Real Estate Rookie Podcast).
