Beginner just starting out in Portland, OR area.

[Mateusz Maciejewski]

Hello everyone,

This is my first post on this site and I wanted to introduce myself to this amazing BP Community!

I have been following the forum for a while, I've read several real estate related books, attended webinars, etc. - really trying to learn as much as I can about real estate investing and I think that I am finally ready to purchase my first investment property! 

My goal is to achieve financial independence through real estate one day, and I would like to start with house hacking in a multi-family home here in Portland, OR area.

I also wanted to thank everyone contributing to this forum for providing great information and resources to all the investors out there.

Looking forward to learning, connecting and being of help to other members!

Hello,

@Mathew Wray Thank you for kind words! I agree, there's definitely a ton of amazing information here on BP - it's a fantastic resource for all the investors out there.

@Mark Petitmermet Thank you for the advice on developing my profile here on BP - I will start on that right away. 

To answer your question - I am looking at properties in Oregon City and/or Milwaukie (specifically multi-family homes) trying to find something where the numbers would make sense. What has been your experience with investing in the Portland market so far?

Again, thank you all for warm welcome!
