New member from Vancouver WA, Hello!

[James M.]

Greetings all

I stumbled unto this site, well not stumbled, linked to it from ChristianPF.  Hopefully I can perform my due diligence here about real estate investing.  I come from a mental health background and my knowledge of real-estate investing is limited to owning my own home.   When I read your posted advice about being specific on what area of the business I want advice on:  I don't know a flip from a lien from a holding to a lease right now. I do however plan on spending some time navigating this site, reading/watching your tutorials with the hope of eventually graduating to the level of being worthy to expect contact with colleagues and peers in my immediate geographic area, or virtually.  The Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR areas are beautiful parts of the Pacific North West.  I would recommend a visit to anyone who appreciate wilderness, mountains, pacific ocean beaches and non tropical rainforests and so much more.  Can you tell, I love living here.

Anyhow, so far the flavor and feel of this community has been pleasant and inviting.  It  could be the beginning of a brand new adventure. Thanks for inviting me in. James
