For Seattle, it has the highest value growth rate in last 24 months among the whole US, and still much cheaper than California; with so many new IT companies and job creations current and future, do you guys think the growth and final value will catch up to Silicone valley?

There are literally books written on this exact topic.

Hello everyone.I have been thinking about getting a property for investment and renting it out for a while and am finally pulling the plug on it. 

I especially recommend you join their forum where you will learn more by conversing with fellow professionals than from any class or book.

There are incredible resources outside of classroom, books, youtube, Gary V etc. that won't be touched on in any class you take.

I am 22 years old and just started working full time but my long term goal is to be financially free.For the short term I will continue to listen and read more books.

The reason why I began there was the Mid-West  had all of the metrics that I was looking for i.e.. price to rent ratio, landlord friendly laws on the books and low cost of entry. 

Since you have already identified your niche, the best bet would be to 1) educate yourself via books and podacts2) network with like-minded investors via REI clubs and events.

I am just the type of person who will have this itch until I finally do it (self management) no matter how brief it may be.   

Sadly, I’m not seeing any discussions, articles, podcasts, or books on this subject.
