Yea I mean obviously I would sacrifice higher "paper" return for actual return and less headache, but I'm just starting out in this world of RE and I don't have a large capital base to be able to buy a bunch of nice properties.

A great place to learn more about WA real estate investing and finding deals and connections is our local REIA - https://www.reapsweb.com and checking out some of our Zoom meetings if you can.There's some great pages on Facebook that you can find deals from other investors, and if you're looking for turnkey there's always the MLS (Zillow, Redfin, etc will get you access to those).If you want a specific search setup, reach out and I can get that started based on the criteria you're looking for too.As someone that moved up from CA a few years ago, I was curious why you're looking at WA instead of other long-distance locations?

Hi everybody,I am looking to purchase my first rental property and I do not think I am ready yet based on feedback I have received from multiple people.I do not have enough money for a downpayment on a conventional loan, DSCR loan.

I don't know much about your market but I will assume there is above average appreciation based on those numbers. 

I have done Edgar searches for Form Ds that list Real Estate in their filing.  

Her book is based on her actual experience with her STR properties. 

Narrow down your search area. 

+95% of agents have only done owner-occupied transactions, which are mostly emotional-based.

Based on data from Rent.com It seems that in the ATL metro area , a 2 Bedroom property could rent between $1500 -$1600.

You can also find real estate investing groups through meetup.com, facebook, or a Google search.
