Craving something new? 🍗

I would suggest checking out the Taku restaurant in Downtown Seattle.

Run by Top Chef Contender, S***a Nakajima, this Japanese cuisine restaurant specializes in Karaage. A twice fried chicken dish that you would regret not trying.

They are doing a Grand Reopening in Early May and is a spot I would definitely suggest checking out as soon as they open up!

Seattle chef S***a Nakajima is bringing back his popular restaurant Taku with a new focus...

Have you considered investing in Real Estate for your kids? 🏡

It's becoming more and more common for investors/parents to purchase a home for their kids.

This can be done when they head off to college or even just as they are born.

Buying a cash flowing rental property when your child is born and giving it to them when they move out is one of the best ways to set up your children for generational wealth.

You can use the additional cash flow to build up a savings account for them, and once they are of age to take ownership of the property they can sell and use the money for school, keep the property and receive monthly income without lifting a finger. Or any other of the many great opportunities that passive income grants you.

If you would like to learn more about how you can do this for your children or family send me a message! I would love to help you!

The Sun is out! 🌞

Weather this past week has been great! According to cloud cover reports, we have had more completely cloudless days in the past week than we had all of last summer!

Crazy! I'm looking forward to getting out and enjoying the sun over the next few days!

What are your plans as weather starts to clear up around Washington? Going on a hike? Getting out on the water? More walks around the neighborhood?

Can't wait for summer!😁

SEATTLE -- Perry Como sang the bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle -- though usually even on our sunny days there's at least *some* part of the sky covered by clouds at *some* point. But not the past few days, which have rated a perfect 0 in Seattle! -- As in, 0% cloud cover. The score is c...

Earlier today I shared about Investing on LinkedIn.

If you have ever considered investing in Real Estate now is the time to do so.

Money sitting in a low yield savings account in your bank is not working for you.

Money that is put towards a primary or investment residence is like a high yield savings account on it's own.

In the past 10 years Seattle Real Estate has appreciated at a rate of 95.38%....... 95.38% That's crazy enough as it is.

But here's the best part, your investment in real estate does not only appreciate based upon the amount of money you put into the property. But the value of the property as a whole.

So if you put a low down payment (3%) on home worth $400k, roughly 12k. That same home is Seattle would be worth at least $780K today.

Over $380K of equity just because you own the property. You didn't need to do any big fancy renovations or put $100,000's into the property.

So not only do you have the equity but during that time you owned the property you were renting it out as well. Let's say after all expenses (including mortgage) your cash back to you was $500 a month.

That's around $6k a year in extra cash in your pocket. Over that same 10 year span that's $60k of extra cash in your pocket.

So not only did you gain $380K in equity but also $60K in cash.

Oh you thought we were done? No no no

So you have a lot of equity built in that property now, what can you do with equity?

You can buy more property or investments!

So you Refinance your loan and pull cash out or maybe use a HELOC. Regardless let's say you have $100K now to invest instead of your $12K initial investment. Remember? all this started because you just put $12K down.

And so now instead of 1 property doing all of this for you, you buy 3 more and now you have 4 properties doing this for you......

I could talk all day about how powerful this is and how it can change your life but this post is already long enough.

So now my question is to you, what's stopping you? If the answer is "nothing" then send me a message. And even if the answer isn't "nothing" still send me a message because I bet I can help you make a plan to make it happen! 😄

If you are renting today now is the time to consider purchasing a home.

Every year you spend renting is another year that you spend not building your wealth and savings.

Check out the graphic below to really visualize the difference in Wealth and Net worth.

I know buying a home seems like an expensive and stressful process but I'd be happy to show you how much easier and cheaper it can actually be! 😄
