Good Morning to all you BiggerPockets members,

While I have been a member for a little while now, I am getting around to being more active on the site. So, hello from West Linn, Oregon. I am a Realtor here and we do have a couple rentals already. My original goal of becoming a Realtor was to help get a leg up on rentals and be able to realize the annual tax savings in owning rentals.

My wife and I are looking to expand our portfolio and really dive into the passive income side of real estate to pursue our financial freedom. In order to do this I'll be researching the wealth of knowledge and experience that can be found within BiggerPockets and upgrading to "Pro" here pretty soon of course. While our main focus will be in the BRRRR realm, we are not opposed to flips or wholesaling.

What I'll be focusing my research on is new areas to invest, even out of state and using hard money to do so. Thank you for your time and I look forward to interacting with you all.

Cheers~

Welcome Patrick! Hey you are close to where I live. I'm an investor here in Salem Oregon. Always good to see more Agents/Investors on here that are in my area. I also focus on passive income from long term holds. If you ever want to chat let me know. Best of luck to you :)
