Rochelle from Portland, OR
Hello Forum!
My name is Rochelle Hagnas, I currently live in Portland, Oregon.
My best qualities: I am humble, and teachable. If you can offer me 1-2 pieces of advice that would be so appreciated!
For 14 years I worked in the gym industry. I co-owned a gym for 9 of those 14 years with my husband and our business partner. LOVED IT! After the birth of my 2nd child, in 2013, I left the industry and took care of our household.
In 2007 the gym was needing to relocate to a larger facility. This is where my interest in Real Estate was sparked. I joined all sorts of email list and was upfront with real estate agents about just liking to watch the market.
Then 2009 hit and my family was needing to purchase a home closer to the gym. I had followed the market for the past 2 years. I found the home we currently live in and it was an estate sale. DEAL! I knew that it was going to be our new home and our first investment property.
Almost 6 years later, we are still in our investment property and ready to start investing into our future.
