Portland, OR, Highly motivated and ready to start investing!
Hello everyone!
My name is Aaron. I am a native Porltander and know the area very well. I enjoy the outdoors, geology, geography, beaches, whales, kayaking and the list keeps going. I am very excited about life and am ready to start a new chapter in real estate.
I've been in the corporate finance world for 15+ years and hold an MBA from the University of Colorado. I know that this job will not help me achieve my goals in life.
My goal is not to get rick quick, or follow gurus to the pot of gold. It is instead a path to retiring comfortably and early, so that I can spend more time with family and travel. To start, I want to find a reasonably priced duplex or triplex that I can live in and reduce my rent. Then I want to save like crazy so I can fund the next opportunity. I know I am in an expensive area which poses a lot of challenges to overcome. I appreciate any advice in getting started in this market or nearby.
I have listened to nearly 70 of the bigger pockets podcasts in the past month and am ready to start meeting people here in the forums. Education comes first, then mentor, then action.
Cheers,
Aaron
