Old member, reintroduction - looking to start investing soon in the Portland / Beaverton / Milwauke OR area!
Technically I've been a member of this site for several years, but I just recently moved to Beaverton, OR from (expensive!) Southern California. My short term goal in the next few months is to start with a small owner-occupied multi-family (preferably a triplex or four-plex) and grow from there! Looking forward to meeting friendly people with similar RE interests on here. I'll be headed to the PDX Meet and Greet in a few weeks, but if anyone has any suggestions on other local RE meetings that welcome newbies, I'd definitely be interested! I love to learn and there's tons to learn about investing in real estate. Thanks, and have a great day!
I've been reading Landlording on Autopilot, the BP guides, and listening to the podcasts - great stuff! I'm thinking Portland would be nice, but it seems fairly expensive. Beaverton is a great area from what I've seen so far and Milwaukie looks like it's growing, especially with the new Max line that's going in.
