For me, Seattle is too pricey for me and, at least for now, the returns don't make sense.

That’s great advice Taz, I’m currently working on saving enough money to get started, house hacking is hard for me at the moment because I just bought a house 2 years ago, I would have to sell my house(which is in a great neighborhood great location) and use that money to fund the duplex which isn’t totally out of the question, I would like to keep the house if possible but also would like to get real estate investing more.

If you are trying to continue holding the other two properties then you should pull out some equity in the form or a cash out refinance on one or both or use a portfolio loan as @Jimmy Murray suggested.

Extensively commented on, no need for me to add to it.Warehouses is somewhere towards the bottom.

There are many here on BP as well as many on Linkedin that you could reach out to and they all have forms to fill out for deal specific information.I think trying to walk into offices will not be best use of time.

Probably, but not really enough context to for me to say one way or another.

Without that network, self-management would have been nearly impossible for me."

Or deal that might work for me in this budget?
