New investor advice/plans
Hi guys. I am a young (25) new investor/developer in the Seattle area. I have been doing a lot of research into the different classes of real estate and wanting to learn more about Office and Retail investment. I’m especially looking for what other people have successfully done and hoping to learn what kind of strategies that they have used and what they look for. Any advice will be super helpful! 
Thanks in advance!
