Newbie Investor in Portland, OR
Hello everyone,
I'm new to real estate, and I'm fairly new to BiggerPockets. I listened to about 20 or so episodes of the podcast and I've watched maybe 5 or so of Brandon's webinars (love how excited he his about what he does). I really enjoy the podcast, it makes the time I spend commuting so much more valuable. I work full time for a Fortune 500 company, so I'm mainly interested in rental properties since I don't think I have the time that is required to be successful at flipping or wholesaling. So far I actually only own one property, the townhouse we live in, but I'm looking to acquire my first rental over the next few month or so. I'm excited to meet new people and would love to hear from locals in the Portland metro area.
