Thank you for organizing this, @Kevin C..  I plan to participate.

Can you clarify regarding the meeting time? (the original post above says 6:00 and then later says 7:00)

Hi @Kai Hicks,

Welcome officially to the forums.  If your goals revolve around cash flow then you are going in the right direction to look at other markets.  Just be sure to research your turnkey provider well, get independent successful/happy references, and have a backup plan in case you need to switch to another property manager after acquisition.  Long distance can increase your cash flow but also requires a lot more reliance on your quality local team, of course.  Good luck!

Hi Daniel,

Welcome aboard!  I previously lived in the Portland area and am now an active investor in the Seattle area.

For the Seattle area, I recommend starting with the largest groups:

REAPS at www.reapsweb.com (which also has a number of interesting sub-group meetings)

REIA WA at www.reiawa.com

And then search for real estate in Seattle area on www.meetup.com.  There are a bunch of Meetup options, though quality and quantity of participants vary.  You can find sub-group specialties there, too.

In addition, after you get networked within these groups you will find unadvertised subgroups and mastermind groups exist too.  I am a member of several of these and find them to be mutually beneficial for everyone involved.

Welcome to BP, Greg!  Be sure to go to REAPS, REIAWA, and a number of Meetups in the area.  One thing you will find is that even if you do not have a 1:1 mentor, there are numerous subgroups out there which include members with a variety of experiences and they can act as a mutually supporting mastermind group.

@Phoebe Gavin , welcome to BP!  Good to have a specific goal in mind, and it is achievable!

Hi @Sondra Mckibben ,

I'll connect you with two people and organizations that can help you:

1) I am a friend with one of the co-founders of Puget Sound Veterans Hope Center, Bob Mattson, and I'll PM you his contact info.  They have similar goals here in the Seattle / Tacoma area and you could exchange ideas and successes.

2) Another local Seattle area company, Semble, specializes in connecting investors with non-profits for projects such as yours.  I know one of their Directors, Eric Robbins, and he can likely provide you with a number of ideas plus actionable solutions from Semble.  I'll PM his contact info to you as well. https://www.semble.com

Thanks, @Paul Tschetter .

@Kimberly Dawn , also note that Paul is the guest who was interviewed in the podcast that @David Truong mentioned earlier in this thread.  Paul's an experienced local investor who knows the area well, and a nice guy too!  :-)

@Kimberly Dawn , I own multi-family, SFR, office, retail, and land on Whidbey within my portfolio. So if you ever have a specific question as you investigate there, feel free to PM me anytime.

Hi @Darren Mills , great to have you onboard.  It sounds like you aren't a total novice by any means, so be sure to build upon that good background.  Onwards and upwards!

Welcome to BP and the world of real estate investing / design / build, Tri.  There are a number of design / builders in both REAPS and REIAWA meetings locally, so you may want to include that with BP as part of your learning and networking.
