Hi @Steve Lee ,

Feel free to message me sometime. I work with quite a few investors in the area and would be happy to give you any advice or answer any questions you might have. There are definitely still deals to be had.

Welcome to the area!

Hi SJ!

Welcome to the community! I think you'll find the site a valuable resource. People are generally very willing to help and give advice.

No matter what market you're in, there are always deals to be had. You just have to know what sort property you would be looking to get and what your goal with that property would be. The right investors and agents will always be able to find something whether it's listed or an off market deal.

Feel free to send me a message sometime if you ever want to connect!

Hi @Kimsua Chay , welcome to BP! It's always nice to see people that are close by that also are into the same thing. Networking can be a powerful tool. Feel free to reach out sometime and we can chat about your goals and what you hope to accomplish!

Hi Dave,

I used to work in home loans as well so I can offer some insight into this. In regards to this, although you do have the option to essentially "partner" with some other family members. Quite frankly I would advise against it. Even though both yourself and your wife have excellent qualifying criteria, often times they took a look at a whole of who will be owning the property unless you will be paying cash. 

Since some of your family members aren't exactly in the best situation, it might be good to speak with someone with knowledge in real estate as well as in the mortgage industry that would help look further into their background.

Was your purpose to solely be helping them get a leg up or were you also looking to invest in real estate alongside with them?

If you like we can speak further and maybe give you some further insight into what you may be looking for and what you and your family are trying to accomplish. 

Hi @Suzie Remilien,

It looks like you're currently more focused at looking towards the Florida areas back home? If you are interested in investing in Seattle, I would be happy to discuss potential opportunities and help guide you in potential home investments!

Feel free to reach out if you see fit!

Hi Lennox,

Let's chat sometime! I would be happy to discuss potential home possibilities with you.

Hi @Angela Wassmann , 

Welcome to the site! The podcasts were a great way to start, and was how I initially started interacting on here as well. 

If you're ever interested in speaking sometime I would be happy to get together and chat! I'm a big fan of hiking, but am an even bigger fan of good food. 

Yes, as far as I'm aware this law only affects those with properties in Seattle. 

Hi @Robin Croen , I've also gone down your path and have also worked in home loans, remodeling/construction as well as rentals, so I should be able to help you out!

I would be happy to speak with you sometime to answer any questions you might have and see if we can get you going on the right track!

Hi @Chester Knapp , I would be happy to discuss with you your options in terms of an investment property. I have invested in this area myself so I have a general knowledge of what to look for. I also have experience in the area of construction and remodeling, as well as home loans if you were looking to go the BRRR route.

Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions about this!
