My name is Alex Anderson and I realized I never properly introduced myself three years ago when I stumbled across Bigger Pockets after searching the internet on how to evaluate investment properties.

We stumbled apon this website by accident.

We stumbled apon this website by accident.

For example, if I was looking to buy a property, but didn't have it under contract, but I wanted some expert advice - i'd feel a lot better talking about in the PRO forum so the seller wouldn't happen to stumble across me talking about it (unless, of course, he was also a pro bp member!)

So glad that I stumbled on BP....awesome site!

I am always looking to learn something new and stumbled upon Bigger Pockets while doing so.

Personally, I did a lot of research online (market rents for locations), attended section 8 landlord briefing, familiarize myself with the Tenant/Landlord Act and the rest was trial and error.However since stumbling upon bigger pockets, I read a lot of the postings good and bad regarding various landlord/tenant issues.

I was searching for information about investing and stumbled upon this site.

Just curious as I stumbled across this post, lurking on BP.  

I would love to meet any BP's in the area( since I just missed the Portland BP networking event at Rogue... ) to learn from, and bounce ideas off of.Before stumbling upon BP I planned on finding a duplex in the area to expand my Real Estate portfolio, but after hearing more about wholesaling, I am no longer sure what I want...
