Hi Everyone! My name is Ken Cabellon and I am a newbie BP Pro member. I am looking to network with fellow investors in Western Washington (Seattle/Tacoma/Olympia) and also in the Portland-Metro area. I am looking to buy/hold and wholesale small multi-family properties. I currently rent out my condo in Portland and see the power in Real Estate. 

A little about myself, I grew up in Tacoma, went to OSU, moved to Portland for 14 years, and now back in Washington. About a year ago, I bought a franchise and started my own business. I simply could not take being a cubical anymore. I now teach soccer and life skills to children ages 3-8, but looking at real estate as additional income to become financially free. 

Besides that, I pretty much watch/play sports, walk my dog, and volunteer as a Wish granter. Hit me up if you would be interested in connecting.

Thanks,

Ken

    Naomi, I just recently returned to bigger pockets and saw this. I wanted to find a REI meeting near me and here it is. What time does this start? I would love to come!

    Hi Ken, I saw your post about getting started with buy-and-hold and wholesaling small multi-family properties in Western Washington and Portland, and wanted to connect. I work with clients on the Property Management side of things and am always looking to grow my network. Since you’re already renting out your condo in Portland, are you planning to self-manage future properties, or do you see yourself partnering with professional management as you scale?
