Brand new to real estate from Redmond, Oregon

[Anna Kampa]

Hello BP community!

I am 26 years old and currently work full time in central Oregon at a job that I very much enjoy. I live in Redmond, Oregon and I am in pursuit of forming passive sources of income with the eventual goal of financial freedom. As of right now I am looking for a property I can house hack, or at least live in with minimal expenses, with the intent of saving more for another down payment. My mom also has interest in owning property in central Oregon, and we will be investing in the first property together. After the first deal I intend to invest on my own. I plan to focus on multi-family units, but am also interested in single family homes.  

I have been listening to the BP podcasts from episode 1 and digging through all of the BP resources. I stumbled across BP when someone mentioned it in the comments section of another blog and have been educating myself ever since!

If there is anyone else who is located in Redmond or Bend Oregon I would love to talk to you!

@Anna Kampa Welcome to BP and to Central Oregon! I've had several friends around here who have house hacked in one way or another. 1 friend who was able to buy a duplex, rent out the other room in his unit, and rent out the entire 2nd unit. Most folks ended up buying a SFR and renting out spare rooms.....and that's how I got into this market. Just seems like there aren't too many multi-family properties available. Find a smart deal and run the numbers! You'll make it happen!
