Quote from @Veronica Mitchell: Yes, I'm looking at 4 plex units renting the three and living in the other interested in the more up and coming areas.

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. 

No more going to three different stores looking for the perfect faucet!

In regards to your review, I dug into particulars and of course, there are three sides to every story.

I got my realtor license in 2021, and that same year, we purchased three single-family homes using investor loans.

Whether you need a CPA with just three rentals depends on the complexity of your situation and your comfort level with DIY tax prep.If things are pretty straightforward, you might be fine with tax software for now.

My personal favorite that I've used is Designer in a Binder.

There were many other questions when I read over the three different term sections that needed agreement to continue with the service, but I never got a response from support on the major noncommercial use clause.Plus, if over 2,600 people are using the product, how many times do you think an agent is going to get messages from various investors through the platform?

The warm months are now approaching but, for the future, I'd suggest coming in aggressively low during winter months and looking for an 18 month lease to start - that way you'll renew in a better pricing period and see some income while you wait rather than spending three months with none.

Three and four units properties tend to be slightly more investor facing, but there are still a lot of regular buyers that pick up three and four units as well.
