New person from Outside Portland, OR
Hello my name is Ben Eiesland. I am from the westside of Portland. Country boy at heart. I am a Manufacturing Engineer in a nuclear products division. I am here to learn. I am interested mostly in buy and hold. I like getting my hands dirty. I just bought a house around 1000 Sq ft ranch. I am currently adding around 700 Sq ft and a foundation. I will add a blog soon to document my misadventures with adding to my house. Is there a local meet up or REIA nearby? Have a great day.
