Hi there! My name is Nick, I am a mechanical engineer in Portland, Oregon...looking at REI as a way to supplement my income and retire early. Kind of tired of the cubicle life, ready to strike off on my own. I really enjoy real estate. At the moment I have one house in SE Portland that I am maximizing income on by renting out 4 bedrooms, while I live in the ADU that I built last year (garage conversion into 2 bedroom 750 sq ft small house). It is going really well, and I am gearing up to invest in more property. Unfortunately, Portland is so hot that it is really difficult to get in the market right now. So I was thinking of investing out of state?! Maybe, still unsure. Maybe auctions. I am handy, so flipping is also something I am interested in, though those properties get snatched up really quick around here. Just trying to learn as much as possible!
Thanks
Nick

Welcome to BP Nick. In case you hadn't heard there is a BP meet up on Tuesday May 9th at Base Camp Brewing on SE Oak. Perhaps we'll see you there. Good luck!
