Newbie from Portland, OR

Hello!

Just finished listening to a couple of the pod casts for Bigger Pockets and learned so much I had to sign up!

My wife and I both work in the restaurant industry and I am looking for an escape in the next 5 years. I feel that with market timing and a little luck and education Real estate investing could be my escape!

Recently purchased my first home in 2012, and became a landlord at the same time( my house has an ADU ). The rental is working out so well, I am looking to expand. I would love to meet any BP's in the area( since I just missed the Portland BP networking event at Rogue... ) to learn from, and bounce ideas off of.

Before stumbling upon BP I planned on finding a duplex in the area to expand my Real Estate portfolio, but after hearing more about wholesaling, I am no longer sure what I want... All I know is my interest has turned into excitement since I've found such a comprehensive site that's not actually trying to sell me something!

Thanks BP!
