Local property managers or agents can often provide trusted referrals, and real estate meetups are also great for connections.Wishing you the best!

As a beginner investor based in the Seattle metro area, I'm eager to learn from your experiences and share my journey as I get started in this field.My current strategy is to focus on live-and-flip for the first three deals (looking for my second deal) to gain hands-on experience while building equity and learning the ins and outs of renovation and the local market.

Call every local investor agenda (look at the agents that have investment property listings and call them) and call every local landlord that owns multiple properties (you can get lists off of Deal Machine).

A successful rental property should offer positive cash flow, meaning your rental income should exceed your monthly expenses (mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, etc.).To find the right tenants, ensure the property is priced competitively within the local rental market.

Depreciation begins once the property is rented.It’s essential to consult with a real estate attorney to ensure compliance with local laws and to handle legal complexities.

I’ve built strong relationships with local agents and other investors in the Hamptons, which helped me discover this off-market property.

You can get that from your local S8 office.
