So I opted to accumulate wealth through acquisition of buy-holds.  

It seems to me that cash flowing anything in Seattle is going to be hard due to high acquisition costs.

There are private money lenders out there that have "auction services" and will work to get you into a "hard money" loan, if you need it to cover the total acquisition the day of the auction.

One thing, if you want to get conventional mortgages for the acquisitions, you Have to buy in your personal name, not the trust or LLC.  

@Ana Barreda I would more be concerned about who is going to be doing the work and how those duties get assigned then who is going to be on title.do you have your acquisition team together?

Good luck with your new acquisition!

I look forward to the insight you all may have regarding getting started in real estate acquisition.

The importance of your calculated critical mass or critical point is that your are able to focus on a task ahead of other task that will make use of resources (time, knowledge acquisition, money) the optimum and most efficient way.2.

Think I know a thing or two about REI.Most recent personal acquisition was in Polk County, FL : February 2016. 

My plan is to do a BRRR style acquisition (Purchase in cash, value add rehab, get online with airbnb and vrbo, then refi or delayed financing).
