New Member and Future Investor in Vancouver/Portland Market

[Jeremy Barren]

Hi, my name is Jeremy and I am a 29-year-old living in the Portland/Vancouver area. Completing my Master's in Finance in August and plan on investing in real estate within six months after graduation. Interested in Portland, Vancouver, and surrounding areas (Battleground, Ridgefield, Camas, Hillsboro, Beaverton, etc.). I would preferably like to purchase a multi-family duplex or triplex and intend in living in one of the units. 

Curious what the forum's general thoughts are on properties in this area, multifamily pros/cons, and any other advice that may be handy! 

Thanks in advance

- Jeremy
