Newbie from Portland, OR
Hi there! My name is Liz C. from beautiful Portland, Oregon (originally from Chicago).
I am a total newbie to real estate but my background as a CPA has provided me an advantage when it comes to tax planning and deal analysis. I’m just getting started, so looking to build out my team and take in advice from those more experienced.
My goal is to find a multiplex in inner southeast Portland to owner occupy that actually cash flows or breaks even (If such a thing exists in this growth market?).
I found Bigger Pockets through Scott Trench’s book Set for Life, and have been enjoying the podcasts.

Hi Liz!
I am a newbie as well! I just finished a career as a professional ballet dancer in Aspen, Colorado but I have been coming to Portland for the last couple of years visiting my husband who moved for an opportunity here. I will attempt to be at the next BP meetup as I have been pouring through the website, podcasts, and books they have. We should meet up and strategize!
