We are hoping to continue growing our real estate portfolio through multi-family homes and possibly a few single family homes in the Buffalo area. 

Im just working on learning and making connections early on and will be looking for investors in Puyallup to connect with when I make the move home to start as an agent... looking for any advice/feedback/tips/anything at all about my plan based on my age and area I'll be in.

If the area is stable or growing in population with multiple strong employers, then I'd be comfortable investing in the market at the right prices.

Dollar profit might be bigger but the %age profit is smaller and for a larger outlay (higher risk) most people would want a higher reward.

(I'm looking at ~6 hours to drive to work and back home each day).My long term goal is to have enough rental properties cash flowing enough to live off of by retirement age (earlier if possible). 

That is awesome you’ve managed to build passive income at such a young age through your digital marketing firm.

In fact my drive and determination allowed me to list the properties for sale and make some money, as a licensed Realtor, since I've taken on new challenges to think and grow - so it worked out.Now I'm preparing to get into the next deal by building my reserves back up.Keep up the hustle Rah-sheen Blalock and good things will come your way!!!

Specifically, the aging demographics of the country dictate that short-term retirement ADA-compliant housing is going to be a growth industry for at least the next thirty years.

I feel like I am currently shoping for the buyers I have first, and then with marketing dollars, can grow leads for sellers.

This makes it tough to start small and slowly grow my real estate investments.
