New members from Portland, OR

[Peter Hanaway]

Hi everyone,

We're Annie and Peter (BTW, anyone know if we can put both our names on our member name, or just one?). We're pretty new to RE investing, and very excited to join the BP community! I've read a little in the forums and listened to some of the podcasts, but haven't really posted much yet. We live (and learn and invest) in Portland, OR. We're just finishing our first flip, on which we had a great time and did pretty well thanks mostly to good luck and a great team. I'll post more details of that project in the appropriate category. We're interested in learning all aspects of the RE investing world eventually, but for now, focusing on fix and flips. Our market seems to be getting more competitive by the hour, and while we bought our first house pretty easily at foreclosure auction, we don't know if we're going to be that lucky again, so right now we're focusing a lot on acquisitions. It's all exciting and a bit daunting, but we are really happy to have found BP and look forward to making connections with some of you!

Hi Peter and Annie, welcome! BP is a great place to be, I must say I myself have no fully utilized what it has to offer! I am a part time realtor and starting my RE investment also. I see you almost have a flip under your belt already, so you are ahead already... :) I am having a hard time getting a property to flip, online auctions and RMLS stuff gets bid up like crazy. Did you get yours from sheriff or trustee auction? Sheriff's scare me a bit because of the redemption 

Anyway, welcome!
