Hello, I’m interested on getting some insight from anyone willingI currently live in Seattle and want to get into REI but the cost out here makes it tough to be able to get involved without capitalI read the out of state investing book and it got me interested in trying somewhere that I don’t have to burn up all my capital to get started1.

Yes all investing is gambling but there are things people do to try and stack the odds in our favor. 

@Jennifer FernézFrom my experience, a solid approach to real estate investing involves focusing on cash flow, building wealth, and managing risk effectively.

However, my future plans with REI involve transitioning my primary income from nursing to REI.

The odd thing is that the bank is supposed to me my partner. 

There are also several local meetups for investors so it's easy to get involved. 

With your sister involved and the opportunity to reinvest your portion of the proceeds, this feels like a solid option, especially if you’re in the early stages of building wealth.Congrats on tackling your first deal!

This involves assessing the investor’s financial situation, investment strategy, and the specific projects they wish to undertake.
