Hello BP, 

My name is Luis. I am new to real estate. I am currently a VP at a manufacturing company that casts parts out of aluminum for some of the biggest automotive, trucking, aerospace, and defense companies in the world. I am hoping that my business experience helps me achieve my real estate investing goals.

I currently have 3 rental properties that I manage myself. I love learning and most importantly.. I love helping others achieve their goals.

I am originally from Mexico. Growing up poor in a house with no windows and dirt floors, I know how blessed and fortunate I am to have the opportunity to chase my dreams in this great country! I hope to one day learn enough to be able to teach others how to become financially free.

My Short Term Goals 1-2 years:

1. Purchase a 3 or 4 bedroom home in the city to house hack.

2. Obtain PM license and start my own PM company. 

3. Kick off my own YouTube channel and share my experience as I start learning more about real estate. Other topics too.

4. Network and attend real estate conferences.

My Long Term Goals 3-5 Years:

1. Purchase a multi-family complex on my own.

2. Have at least 6 single family home investment properties.

3. Raise funds from friends and family to invest in a multi-family complex.

4. Learn enough so I can provide free classes to low income and Spanish speaking communities on how to get into real estate investing.

It is a blessing to have so much resources on one website like BP. 

I get overwhelmed sometimes because it feels like there is so much I don't know.. Although I know the learning journey is part of the fun!

I would love to network with Pro's and Newbies like myself.

Open to connect with anyone!

Thank you!

Luis Amador

    Welcome to BP Luis!

    Love the plan you put together and more importantly love your backstory. Knowing where you came from and what you’re going towards is huge. 

    You’ll see if you dig that there is a constant need for good PMs...and it’s a very challenging, intensive business...but doable. 

    There’s some great Portland resources out here for you as you execute on your plan! 

    Again, welcome!
