New Member in Vancouver, WA

[Cole Pavlina]

Greetings!  

I've been lurking and reading for about a year, but haven't ever been very active on the forums.  I'm currently in Camas, WA - just on the WA side of Portland, OR.

I'm very new to the REI world, but my current experience comes from a Short-Sale SFR I purchased in 2012 and renovated. It is currently my primary residence, not a rental, so I'm not sure I quite qualify as investor yet.

My future goals are to seek out opportunities in the Pacific NW to expand my knowledge and experience.  I have equity built in my current residence (never refi'ed) that I'd like to use towards advancement.

Browsing articles and reading forum posts have been a huge help thus far, and if there's anything I can do to give back to the community please connect with me!
