AAAAAAAAAAhhhh! I'm so excited to be a part of BiggerPockets! Thanks @Marcia Maynardfor introducing me.
My name is Drew Mim Mack, I live in Vancouver, WA and have a 2/1 single family rental. I work for a Capital Improvements company as the Senior Estimator. We are based in Portland, OR and service the apartment and commercial industry only. I estimate small $700 siding repairs to $1.5m full siding, windows, roof and paint projects and I love my job!
I'm a member of the Clark County Renters Association in Vancouver, WA. We meet monthly, enjoy a meal together and listen to wonderful speakers from Attorneys to Clark County PUD. All new members get assigned a mentor and I appreciate the one on one mentor time apposed to watching YouTube videos the rest of my life.
My goal is to invest in Portland Metro Area multi-family, rehab and flip... I realize I have a long way to go before I can build the capital and my journey starts now. I already have estimating knowledge and work for a company that does projects like this. I'd like to build on that platform.
Welcome to BP! I personally work for a Real Estate Investing company, but live in SE Portland. So I have the opposite situation as you. However, I did just invest in my first multi-family in Portland.
Way to go on taking the initiative to start your investing journey now! There is no time like the present. The company I work for does minor fixes in the Portland metro area, so we may seek out your businesses services for future projects. I wish you the best of luck in your investing future and I will see you around the forums!
Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info. Here you will meet wholesalers who provide deals and rehabbers (cash buyers).
@Robert Laird... It's good to hear from a local. Tell me more about your multi-family investment. Are there any meetings I can sit in on or paperwork I can help you with. I'd love to learn even the smallest details.
@Marlon Wilson... I truly am blessed with the wonderful people I've met recently and I feel I have something to offer them as well. It's bound to be symbiotic in more then one way. Thanks for the warm welcome!
Welcome to BP community @Drew Mim Mack It is a great place to meet new friends and learn about various aspects of real estate and more. Here are a few recommendations for you:
Thanks @Dmitriy Fomichenko, I'm currently in the works for coffee with a couple of members and I have a mentor through Clark County Renters Association who's also a BP member. She's the one who told me about this group! I've been hooked on the podcasts regarding multi-family deals as that's my primary interest but I really enjoyed @Marcia Maynard podcast 83 she provides a link to the questions she screens tenants with! She's only had 2 unlawful detainers in 15 or 20 years of landlording. That's impressive! Check it out and let me know what you think? Thanks for the warm welcome.
