I am an investor and real estate agent and I've just secured a fantastic deal (duplex) for one of my clients, featuring an impressive 8+% cap rate with reliable tenants already in place, no repairs needed.  Now, I want to hear from you seasoned investors out there – what are your thoughts on an 8%+ cap rate? Is this the kind of investment opportunity that gets your attention? Drop your insights and opinions below – let's start a conversation about what makes a great real estate investment in this market! 💼📈

Looking forward to hearing from all you savvy investors and/or new investors that want to learn more about opportunities like that! 

Hello everyone!

I have a 401K which I'd like to transfer over to a Solo K so I can utilize it in real estate investing. Does anyone here have experience with this strategy? Or have recommendations on providers? 

Thank you!

Marcela

Hi Ananya,

Tacoma is a great place to invest right now. Many of my investor clients are looking either south or north of Seattle. I also own a few rentals south of Seattle in Des Moines & Tacoma. You can find some great deals if you're willing to buy off-market and put in some work. Really depends on your goals!

If you are planning on holding onto it as a rental, making sure you have enough of a profit margin is critical, in case there's any unforeseen events (especially if you have an older house that needs more maintenance). I think one of the biggest factors is the macro level risk though. "Rising tide lifts all boats." Check out rental laws, inflow/outflow of residents, housing supply, etc. If the local government is anti-landlord, people are leaving, etc., it's going to be much harder stay above water. 

I'm a real estate agent for investors and my husband splits his time between a W2 + consulting work.

Happy to chat over the phone!

Hi Naeima,

My family owns an AFH and I help manage it. Happy to answer any questions you have! 

Pick whichever aligns with your strengths better. You'll have to grind either way, you might as well make it an easier grind.
