Hi Levi,

Just like with any other industry, it's all a numbers game. Start with your existing network (friends, family, etc.) and go from there. The people with money to invest right now given the rates are likely to be higher earners. Start connecting with former bosses, people you know who own businesses, etc. Use LinkedIn and look through your connections to see what roles people are in now. 

Hi Hank,

Before I can give advice on anything, what are your requirements for the house? Sq ft? Bedrooms/bathrooms? Floors? That will help dictate what retail/off-market options there are in that area. 

If you're buying all cash and want a great deal where you would into equity from the beginning, give off-market deals some thought. They'd likely require more work than a retail property, but you can find some great opportunities for that price point. 

We have a great accountant we work with for our real estate investments that can help devise some long term strategies for you that will minimize your risk and help you avoid capital gains and other headaches. Let me know if you'd like a referral! As you probably know, there are general rules of thumb, but your situation sounds pretty unique and an accountant/tax advisor may be the best way to go.

Hi Kaitlyn!

I'm also an investor/agent here in Washington State. Very nice to meet you. 

I work primarily with investor clients in King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties. 

Looking forward to helping each other out!

Hi Ashly, 

I just you a connection request and saw your post here. I have a lender we've worked with in the past who is very creative and could help you out. 

Will send you a direct message.

To answer your other questions, my husband and I have used DSCR loans on our properties because we ran into similar issues with 1099s and my agent business. The one wrinkle is you may not be able to use a DSCR loan if you also live in the property. Happy to connect you with our lender and answer any further questions you have!
