Hi Anthony, it sounds like you’re in a good position to start building your STR portfolio, especially with no debt, great credit, and rent-free living!

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. 

If you sell, you could access the equity you’ve built and put it toward other investments or save for a future down payment.

If you’ve got property and aren’t well-versed in an accounting software I’d recommend starting with a good accountant and quickly adding a good bookkeeper.

Living closer to work saves time and money.

It’s like you bought the properties with a 30 year loan and are putting the rest in to a savings account.

Happy you joined the party.. how soon do you plan to start crunching numbers on a potential deal?

Aloha, I hope this message finds you all well!

We have around 20k in savings we’re hoping to do our first BRRR with using a FHA loan in the future.

I started out with little to nothing when I was in the Army and building up properties slowly.
