I was just hoping there was someone that had personal experience with them.

It also gave me the chance to experiment with short-term rentals before transitioning to a long-term hold, reinforcing my strategy for growing a real estate portfolio.

Right now, I am not as interested in investing as I am in helping another investor in order to get some hands-on experience while my wife and I save a little bit more money.

I backed up, regrouped and went smaller to gain more experience. 

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. 

A renter for a stand alone rowhome is usually a different profile from a large apartment complex renter in my experience.

My name is Kevin Upton, i am new to Real Estate Investing and looking to learn from those with more experience than i do.

That's been an interesting experience!

I already have the knowledge, experience, and systems in place to do about 20 properties this year.

It's not some MLM, pyramid type gig you can just experiment with attempting to make quick or easy money.
