Hello everyone, this is Mike from Portland Oregon

[Mike Smith]

Hello, my name is Mike and I'm from Portland Oregon. I currentlh work for a vocational school as a employment specailist. Ive been married for almost four years and i have a 7 month old son.

I'm a newbie who will become a real estate investor. While watching youtube videos on personal finance I stumbled on a video about using real estate it build wealth. And I've had real estate on my mind ever since.

Ita always been my dream to own several properties, but I thought I couldn't get to that level until I was in my 40s, I will be 29 on the 11th. Watching and reading several bigger pockets has taught me that there is always pathways to succeed and get what you want. Has anyone read the road not traveled by Robert Frost? It's a great poem about not doing what everyone is doing.

I can go on and on but I'm on my lunch break and need to head back to work. I want to start in wholesale and do that until my finances get better then I want to use and fha loan to get and multi family house. My plan is to build a rental business and retire off the cash flow. This month I plan on reading reading reading, and get active on the forums. Next month I will write a business plan, create a LLC and make sure my foundation is sound. In June Imy going to hussein and look for sellers and networking.

I look forward to talking to you guys in the forums!
