In June 2022, I got married and my wife moved in, and around that same time, all the tenants moved out.

I am Mike Mattingly and together with my wife Sharon, are looking at beginning the adventure of real estate investing.

Would be great to own on Oregon coast wow just so beautiful.

My wife and I are closing escrow on (2) MFU's in Mid City. 

My wife is about to sign up for some travel nurse site that is tailored to that community for STR use.

To become an REP you have to:- spend 750hrs or more in real estate investing activities (looking at zillow, watching BP youtube videos, actual property mgt, etc)- spend more time on real estate activities than any other single area (like a w2 job)My wife is a REP while I work at a W2, this allows us to take deductions from passive investing against our active income and saves us thousands of dollars every year on taxes.

My wife and I purchased a home in the Seattle area back in 2018.

Personally, my mortgage company provides me a ton of stress and my wife and I do ground up spec construction and flips, but I can't imagine adding rentals to that.

It also allows me and my wife to take a small owners draw each December which is helpful during the holidays to afford Christmas presents.

A beautiful home for someone else to treasure and some profit for my father and I at the end!
