Quote from @Victor Lin: Hey all, I have been living in Seattle for a little over 2.5 years now and I like to think I know the North Seattle area pretty well and would like to finally begin my REI journey here.I am looking to connect with other new or experienced investors in the Seattle area to mutually learn off each other and ultimately just gain more knowledge.

Also-  Have you considered investing in a note fund.

@Maria JeanetteHere are some of the downsides of putting real estate into a self directed IRA or 401k.No tax deductions: You can’t claim deductions for property taxes, mortgage interest, depreciation, repairs, improvements and other property-related expenses.Property expenses: All expenses, repairs, and maintenance costs must be paid with IRA or 401k funds.

It will also require extensive networking to raise funds from other, legally, to buy at scale.Recommend your plan be more realistic with a goal of 10 years for your real estate to be generating enough cash to live off - and even that may be a bit optimistic.How to grow?

It takes hustle, but once you’ve got the right mix of funding, project management, and lender relationships, it’s totally doable!

You take a HELOC for your primary renovations at 7%, invest the funds from option 1 to cover the payments of the HELOC.
