Welcome Jeff! We're residential property managers and would love to network with you.
In addition to the keywords Brandon mentioned, here is the Oregon RE forum section for us. Also, there had been talks of putting together another BiggerPockets get-together here in Portland soon. Set up those keywords alerts! See you there

@Jeff Wright appraising is an excellent skill to have in this industry. Although, I have to admit, it takes a little while to get past the appraiser brain. In my early days, a good deal to my appraiser brain, didn't make sense to the investment criteria. That may not be a problem in this market, but I found it to be an interesting struggle early on. However, you will have many advantages over your competitors with the appraisal experience you have.

@Jeff Wright If you have not heard of it @Mike Nuss runs the RAREBIRD monthly get togethers I would highly suggest you attend those you will find a lot of like minded folks there.. I like it much better than any of the other get togethers or REIA's in the area ..
Also BP folks will have meetups occasionally .. those are mainly to just meet people. .Rarebird has an agenda and guest speakers and in depth subject matter..
