Hey folks, Due to a lot of depression and personal issues, I let my property taxes go unpaid for close to three years.

For example, they have not sent us the rent they owned us for the last three months, and here is paperwork to show it is not in our account, here is the contract with them stating they would pay on this day each month, and here is the title of the house in my LLC/name to show you we own the property too.

Welcome to Bigger Pockets!

Are you wanting to grow a portfolio of rentals without coming out of pocket to acquire each?

 I have been researching and browsing through bigger pockets and different real estate investment info but haven’t pulled the trigger on anything.

Let's use that as an example. 20% down is $43,000 plus lender loan origination fees, closing costs etc is going to push you over $50,000 cash out of pocket.

I'm quite new as an investor, but with three books by Biggerpockets authors under my belt and plenty of enthusiasm, I'm ready to keep learning and to connect with like-minded people in my area and beyond.

My husband is a high income W2 earner, and meeting active criteria would put some of our tax dollars back in our pocket.

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 am new to Bigger Pockets.
