Newbie from Portland, OR
Hey everyone, my name is Sergiu Ionita and I am a complete noob but I'm very interested in real estate investing. I just recently got married and my wife and I live in an apartment that we're renting. I have a full time job as a CNC machinist and looking to invest on the side. I've done a lot of research and started listening to the podcasts while at work. I've learned a lot so far and I'm really excited! I've already talked to a friend of mine who is a principal broker about finding us a cheap duplex that we could live in and rent the other side. It sounds like a good start and a safe way to start learning. The only problem I'm having is that Portland seems to have an extremely low supply but that seems to be the case everywhere right now and prices seem fairly high compared to other states.
