Newbie from Portland Oregon
Hello, BiggerPockets family
My name is Joshua LeMasters, I am 26 years old. Currently living in Portland Oregon, I am a part-time youth pastor and work full time at intel. I got interested in real estate by coming to the realization that everyone in my life I look up to owns properties, and of course, reading rich dad poor dad. My goal in real estate is to get enough cash flow through rentals to be able to be in full-time ministry without taking a paycheck from the church. I found Biggerpockets by searching Real estate podcasts on my iPhone. I am excited to network and grow within the industry!
Blessings,
Joshua LeMasters
