New investor - Eugene, Oregon
Howdy! I'm Trevor Thompson! I'm currently 22 years young from the beautiful state of Oregon. I don't have much background in real estate other than obtaining my real estate license when I was 19 and sitting on it until I made it inactive (I was young and lost at the time). However, in the last few months I have decided to take control of my choices and start working towards early financial freedom! In the upcoming months I will be attending the University of Oregon to pursue my degree in accounting and eventually achieve my CPA.
While I have been studying the biographies of many of the greats that have obtained financial freedom, real estate seemed to be one the major keys for these people to obtain their wealth. I always knew there was no point in reinventing the wheel if it has worked for others, and if people have what you want, then study what they do to get their results. I strongly believe that Biggerpockets is a strong resource to obtain as much information and experience that other investors have used to strengthen their portfolio, I look forward to meeting and networking with many of you!
My primary goal in my early real estate investing portfolio is to obtain as many cash flowing properties as possible while in school. I'm currently on the lookout for properties that I'm able to house hack, primarily focusing on duplexes or triplexes. By the end of 2018, I'm setting my goals to have 4-5 cash flowing properties while also looking for flipping opportunities.
I look forward to networking and chatting with as many of you as I humanly can!

I wish I started out that early. Make sure you follow through.....start analyzing now. I think you might be a little optimistic with 4-5 properties in a year and a half with going to school full time (accounting especially), but more power to you. Get that first one under your belt and the rest will be much easier. Good Luck!
