Hi from Portland Oregon

[Ted Chan]

Hi,

I wanted to introduce myself. I'm a newish investor in Portland, Oregon area. I have a SFH rental and am looking to ramp things up in the next year or so. I've studied and read tons of books, been through a couple of homes study courses and seminars; but hadn't really gotten deep into the brass tacks of things. I want to grow my portfolio of rentals to be able to replace my current working income. I've spent some time in online and internet marketing and know a couple things about websites and optimizations.

I've listened to many of the great podcasts in the last 2 weeks or so (1-30 and 40-45). There's a ton of great stuff in there and a lot of inspirational info and different perspectives. I enjoyed Leon Yang's podcast that he'd move to a new city and just go to town. I also learned a ton from Jeff Brown's podcast about notes and having a good financial basis. I hadn't heard about some of the 401k Solo entities that he had discussed.

I'm looking forward to meeting some of the great folks in the forums and around my local area.

Hi Ted,

It's nice to see some other Oregonians here on the forums! What kinds of projects are you looking to do? I'm building student rentals by OSU in Corvallis right now, and as always, looking for more capital to make more projects happen. By the way, have you been to any of the NWREIA meetings? I've found them to be very helpful.
