Hello all…I am happy to be a new member of Bigger Pockets!

[Dennis Joule]

It has already been insightful and inspiring to be in the Bigger Pockets community. I have been reading a lot and clicking on several links that are opening my eyes to the world real estate investing. I am currently a Vice Principal at Franklin High School in Portland, Oregon. I love my job. I grew up around real estate and it has always lingered as something I am interested in pursuing. I have been reading books, networking, and now join the Bigger Pockets group to learn even more. I am interested in the market in Oregon, but the Portland scene is through the roof in terms of prices. I am looking out of state, primarily Fargo, ND where I have family. At this stage, I am looking to connect with a team. Real Estate agents, financing team, property management, and contractors. I look forward to talking and meeting more people. Enjoy!
