Any Snohomish County, WA Investors?

William Fifield
  • Snohomish, WA
Posted

Hey all,

I'm hoping to get to know more investors in my area. My business name is North Star Homes and, let me get this out of the way, I'm a newbie. My primary interest at the moment is flipping homes between Monroe and Everett, Washington. However, in time I hope to branch out into rentals in Western Washington and other states.

So much to learn. I am still working a day job and working with an agent trying to find a distressed property that I can make money on. I welcome any contractor referrals, as well as any advice or conversation from other investors.

Hello! I'm in Everett, Wa. As of right now I have 2 investment property rentals in Everett and am currently building my new primary residence in the Lynnwood/Mukilteo area. I'm a Boeing Engineer but am looking to invest more in real estate later this year.

    It's hard to find good deals to flip on the MLS. Most flippers tend to buy off-market, whether through their own marketing or through wholesalers. Or sometimes their real estate agent is well-connected to bring them these leads as well.

    Go to local meetups in the area and network for deals.  There's not that many real estate meetups in Snohomish county (much more in King and Pierce), but if you're able to make it to one of Tarl Yarber's Fixated evening meetups in Bellevue, I think it'll be worth your time.

    Hi -thanks for starting this thread William and welcome to the BP forums!  Great to 'meet' other local investors - we've been investing in Snohomish Country since 2013 - started w/ SFRs and now small multi-s.  Would love to connect w/ others in the area and swap best practices/ideas or resources!  We actually may be looking to sell a Lake Stevens Duplex before the end of year!

    Hi William and welcome to the BP forum. I am a realtor and investor in the area and love meeting other like minded people. 
    You wouldn't happen to have any relation to Ed and Seth Fifield, would you?

    Hi @Matthew Kimball - yes we were going to list it, but then found that the neighbor home had been purchased recently and they were interested in our plat as well, so we are now in contract w/ them and are set to close in early Dec.  Definitely is a hot market there!

    I'm a newbie from Lynnwood looking for house hack or BRRR by Mid May 2021. Any specific groups or meet ups anyone can recommend so I can start getting connected? I'm a planner so really want to understand what I need to do to accelerate my goals of reaching 24 doors in 6 years to maybe 2 or 3 years. Thanks in advance!

    @Aileen Yu, before Covid, we used to meet in person with a handful of meet ups every week.

    After Covid, we switched to online (Zoom meetings).

    You can get a look at this link for the upcoming events

    Looking forward to connecting more!
