One of my favorite authors is John Schaub, Building Wealth One House at a Time and says in his book that he invested in apartments, shopping centers, office condos in his 30 years of investing and his conclusion is that Single Family Homes are the best.So i am a little hesitant about getting my feet wet with commercial or should I just stick to what i know "Single Family Homes" in premium locations.  

One if the reasons I love this website is it's general positivity on the topic of real estate, so it makes me cringe to be the wet blanket here.

I hope my new member post will reach the local Washington investors as well as investors in Seattle, Lynnwood, Bothell, Mill Creek, Everett, and numerous cities in the Evergreen State.

SFH's in the area run for about 15-20k and rent between 450-500(tenant pays all utilities besides for a 49.50/unit or house sewer fee).....I do all maintenance myself and after taxes, insurance and sewer I'm estimating id clear around 4k a year (given nothing serious goes wrong)...the rental market is strong and the houses I've looked at need minor cosmetics only...I figured I'd get my feet wet with just one home and if goes good invest more...

HOA sent us numerous notices to vacate the stalls.

I Interested in flipping a forclosure but I may start out small with wholesaling to get my feet wet.

What do you find most valuable here--Vast pool of experienced investors-Being able to network with local and distant investors-Create partnerships-Learn from others mistakes and successes-Ability to help others-Generate new ideas-Or something completely differentI am still amazed that such a great site exists w/o any pushy sells products and numerous helpful experts that log on each day to help others.

The plan is to get my feet wet with wholesaling and motivate it into a consistent income stream, then progress to the rehab/buy and hold side investing.

Right now we're focusing on wholesale deals and really starting to get our feet wet into marketing.
