Hello from Eugene, OR!

[Todd Garrison]

Hello to all,

I am new to BiggerPockets and am so glad I finally came across the site. I have been looking for a place to call "home" for a while now that had a large, active community of like-minded people who are interested in both learning and sharing what they know.

As for myself, I have been trying to become more educated over the last 3-4 years, absorbing as much as I can from books, courses offered through a local community college, and even a seminar or two. I feel I am now ready to take the plunge, so to speak, and I feel there are much fewer holes to be filled knowledge-wise, as there used to be, so I'm feeling more confident about my success the first time out.

Eugene is a mid-sized city of about 150,000, so I hope I am able to find some other folks out there that are from the same area.

I am primarily interested in rehabbing and wholesaling for the near term, with a long term strategy of buying and holding for appreciation and cash flow once I have enough capital to make these deals more fesaible.

I know I'll have lots of questions, but I'd like to thoroughly read through these forums first lest I ask something that has already been answered.

In time I hope to give back to help pay for the education I've received.

Anyway, just wanted to say hello and a big thank you for making this site possible!

Happy Investing!

Todd
