I looked at a few properties in Hopewell and always seemed to never get the stars to align.

my thought process is probably not aligned with most.. but if I had big debt I would find a job that your income is not regulated... and that is SALES ... if real estate interest you I would start selling real estate in the seattle area.. a great agent can soon be making 200 to 500k a year no problem and then your pay debt... and then save money then start to invest.. at least in this part of the cycle and in the market your in... rental for wealth are much harder in high dollar metro areas cost to play is real and not as many opps to buy deals like in many other parts of the country were there is an over supply of homes and or semi unsophisticated owner sellers.

The challenge is making sure they are aligned with your values and your business model.
