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. 

I’m hoping to learn more about the industry, its dynamics, and explore potential opportunities for collaboration and growth.Totally understand that nothing in this field comes for free, and I’m more than willing to share my expertise (tech related) and provide support wherever our skills and goals align.Looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully connecting soon!

It was a learning experience but I made it work in the end.Mine was a 5 unit commercial building that needed a gut renovation, similar to yours.

I’m excited to learn from this community, share ideas, and build valuable connections.

I’m still learning but would love to hear about any tips or methods that have worked for you.

Could someone break it down step by step for me and explain why yes or why no and if yes how would someone like me with little money get it done and profit from it.10 unit multifamily investmentI look forward to learning from someone that has done it.

You seem to know a lot about STR, could I "connect" with you to maybe learn a bit more about it?
