I can only speak for myself...since i bought my first place with zero down using a usda loan...i acquired the property and put my friend/brother in it to help house hack....I'd recommend doing this first...let the property build equity...then utilize HELOC to get into the flip game.

@David Clinton III..Sounds great. I agree....especially being on the other side of the state, I think partnering would be very helpful! i would love to reach out as I am looking for ways to grow our side hustle in the upcoming year!

Hello. My name is Jeff ...former WSU alum. I currently work for Boeing so I am stuck here on the westside of the state😂😂😂I have access to some capital but I am specifically looking to invest in the Spokane market. I would love to connect with some potential investors and flippers local to Spokane who may be interested in partnering in on a deal! I love the Spokane area and see a ton of opportunity in the area long term. If you are interested in connecting...please reach out!

Just looking for feedback on general predictions on the seattle market. I live in the south puget sound (bonney lake) area. My girlfriend and i both own one home each. I am currently renting my home out to a wonderful tenant snd living in my girlfriends home. Our goal is to but a third home in the next couple of years and rent both out; however we are really trying to be careful and disect this market in every way possible. We obviously do not want to buy high but that seems to just be the area. I am a bit apprehensive to buy a 550k home up here. Everywhere i look around, there just seems to be a thriving economy up here! Everything is appreciating so rapidly. My question for all of my fellow BP members is....do you think the seattle market will continue and mirror the prices that california has seen in the past or do any of you see a potential correction up here? The south puget sound seems to be reaping the benefits of being within travel distance of the seattle tech boom! Just looking for some predictions and/or feedback!

@Jeff Schechter thanks for the response and wisdom...i looked on your website and i will be subscribing to your podcast...how do you feel your company is different from other TK companies...the Indianapolis market interests me in terms of passive income opportunities...the Puget sound has been a great market for us to buy a couple homes as far as appreciation but i would like to explore a more passive rental portfolio in a more affordable market. The thing that concerns me most is obviously...owning from out of state...so I really want to look at a company that can help assist with this process.

@Jay Hinrichs, thanks for the feedback...i definitely believe that Roofstock's platform is going to be a game changer as well. Their growth into new markets is really what is intriguing to me.  Out of state investing is something i am leaning toward more and more since Washington State is becoming incredibly expensive. I love all the detail insights on markets, neighborhoods  and analytical information as well as the streamlined buying/management process that Roofstock seems to provide...definitely a company i will be looking into as in the near future.

@Jason G., thanks for the feedback. I will look into your case study write up!

Hello. I have recently been looking at properties through Roofstock.com or morris invest?Can any investors give me some feedback on your experiences with them and the acquisition process. I know they are a bit different in business models but it looks like both companies do a good job of streamlining the buying process for out of state investors which intrigues me. I want to make sure that people have had good experiences with the property management companies they have in place! Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
