[Jesse Edwards]

Hi Everyone-

I figured I'd introduce myself. My name is Jesse Edwards. I live in Portland OR. I spent over 2 years on the sidelines of the real estate game, trying to find cash flowing properties in the Portland area without luck. Just this past year I really began my real estate journey.  

Long-Distance Real-estate Investing, and Skip the Flip has changed my life. In my first year I've managed to establish a remote "team" (Agent, PM, Construction Contacts) Purchase 7 doors, complete 3 BRRRs, 2 others in process. Each taking out on average 48k over over initial investment while retaining positive cash flow. Additionally I'm taking my step into multi-family as I'm about to close on my first multi-family 10 unit next week!

It has been an amazing journey and have my goals set to be able to replace my W2 in 5 years and be financially free.

Apart from the financial aspect of this, my "why" for real-estate is that I feel I'm creating quality housing that would otherwise not exist for a community. My romanticized aspiration would be to revitalize any entire block house by house taking it from forgotten to flourishing.

I'm currently investing in the Pittsburgh PA area, and looking to expand into other markets (I've had my eye on Cleveland, OH) but would like to find something closer to the PNW as well.

I'd love to connect with others, grow my connections and create new opportunities.

Thanks for your time and I look forward to getting to know you all!
