New Investor from Portland, Oregon

[Jason Powell]

Hello BiggerPockets community!

Thought I'd take minute to introduce myself and hopefully meet others with common interests and maybe even same location. I was born and raised in Corvallis, OR and just moved to the Portland area a few months ago after graduating from Oregon State with a degree in Construction Engineering Management. I work for a Mechanical Contractor installing piping and sheet metal, mostly for high tech and industrial clients. I'm as green as it comes as far as real estate investing is concerned. I purchased my first property, a four plex, just a week after graduation.

Immediate goals include building strong local relationships to form a successful real estate team (real estate agent, lenders, other investors, accountant, etc). My mid/long term goals are to have passive income that can cover all my living expenses by the age of 30 so I can pursue career passions and not just a "secure" job. I don't really have a mentor in this journey, so I was excited to hear I could get hundreds of them in this BiggerPockets community!

Don't be shy; say hi!
