Hi there! My name is Nick, I am a mechanical engineer in Portland, Oregon...looking at REI as a way to supplement my income and retire early. Kind of tired of the cubicle life, ready to strike off on my own. I really enjoy real estate. At the moment I have one house in SE Portland that I am maximizing income on by renting out 4 bedrooms, while I live in the ADU that I built last year (garage conversion into 2 bedroom 750 sq ft small house). It is going really well, and I am gearing up to invest in more property. Unfortunately, Portland is so hot that it is really difficult to get in the market right now. So I was thinking of investing out of state?! Maybe, still unsure. Maybe auctions. I am handy, so flipping is also something I am interested in, though those properties get snatched up really quick around here. Just trying to learn as much as possible!

Thanks

Nick
