Deciding how much money and time I want to put into realestate.

We lived there less than 2 years, and the rest of time is rented out.

What's your strategy for getting your first investment property?

Hi, I've been a small-time landlord for 20 years.

I was working as a lead carpentry for a remodeling in company in Seattle, but left in Oct. 2023 to help with my family's property and turn my side work full time, which is slowing down.

I aim to close on my first properties within the next 4-5 months and would greatly appreciate your insights and feedback to complement my research.Thank you in advance!

Of course there will always be a need for a buyer's broker for those that are not savy or have the time, but I still see a shift with less representation on the buy side. 

I go and stay at my STR a few times a year to check in on the property and make updates or repairs where it is needed.

As i spent so much energy and time and money on this property thinking better to keep property.Also this property is in downhill area.

I'd love to get a 2-4 unit for my first purchase.
