Newbie from Central Oregon

Hi there. I am just beginning the process of learning about RE investing--I am halfway through The Ultimate Beginner's Guide and have been looking at property prices in Bend, OR and in Springfield, IL (where I grew up and still have family). I will most likely start with my first property in Springfield as I am priced out of the Central Oregon market. However I would eventually like to invest here as well.

I am looking forward to learning and am glad to have found this website (and the podcast--about 20 shows in so far). If anyone from Springfield, IL can recommend any trustworthy and reliable RE people (mortgage broker, PM, realtor etc) I would appreciate it.

Jody

Welcome Jody. Fellow Oregonian here. I have a duplex in Beaverton that I purchased at the end of Feb. Completed my first turnover yesterday. Good luck.
