New member from Portland Oregon area (Hillsboro)

[Ian Facchini]

Hello to everyone!

My name is Ian and I'm somewhat new to the Hillsboro, Oregon area.  I spend my days working as an Engineering Technician in NW Portland and my nights and weekends renovating my first real estate investment, a 1930 cottage.  If I ever give myself a free day I enjoy snowboarding at Mt. Hood and riding my dirtbike.

I haven't been listening for long but I found BiggerPockets through listening to real estate podcasts, instead of gluing myself to a tv (which I don't have) I try to absorb everything I can while staying busy laying flooring, painting or whatever the task is of the night!

As a newbie I am looking to build solid relationships with others in and around my community through networking.  Initially I am interested in buy and hold single family and multifamily rental homes, but would also like to get into flipping.  I would be grateful to have a mentor someday as well.
