Hi everyone,

My name is Felix, and I’m a young medical professional based in Portland, OR. I’ve been exploring real estate investing and am particularly interested in wholesaling as a way to get started in the market while learning the ins and outs of property acquisition and deal structuring.

I’d love to connect with experienced wholesalers in the Portland area who can offer advice, share best practices, or even point me toward potential deals. I’m especially interested in:

• 1. Identifying off-market properties and motivated sellers

• 2. Building a network of buyers and investors

• 3. Understanding local regulations and market trends that impact wholesaling in Portland

If you’re active in the Portland area or have tips for someone getting started, I’d greatly appreciate your insights. I’m eager to learn, network, and hopefully collaborate with others in this community.

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys. 

I just got accepted to MCPHS medical school in Boston, Massechusetts. What I want to do before September (when the school year starts) is find something like a 4 or 5 bedroom house and then live in one of the bedrooms and rent the other bedrooms out to other medical students. Personally I am not sure what investing out of state looks like, and I would truly feel incredulous if I could get help from any of you amazing friends here on bigger pockets! Maybe you know someone who knows someone? Let me know! 

Thanks! 

@Arn Cenedella the biggest obstacle in my way is knowing what steps I need to take exactly so I don't fall into debt. I have been wanting to buy (anywhere) for about 3 years. I would love to get an investment property before too long so I can start building equity and getting a good stream of cash flow. 

@Bradley Buxton would you recommend investing in Reno? is the ROI high over there? I can't pay entirely cash for a property yet, I'm just wondering to get started. You know what I mean?

Hey bp. 

I want someone to help me find a property or apartment that will yield me a return on my investment. I do have some up front capital. I live in Oregon and I am familiar with it here; however which ever state has the best return on invest I am open to the idea of investing out of state as long as it will cash flow. What would all of you recommend? If there are any of you who already own apartment buildings or properties (?) I would love to hear from you! 

Thank you. 

Hello Bigger Pockets. 

For the last few years I have been looking for my first property in the greater Portland area. I am wanting to ideally find a single family house with a few bedrooms so I can rent out additional rooms to my friends who are looking for housing. Vancouver WA is probably going to be the best bet for where I am looking for properties in. This would be my first time buying a house. I think FHA is the best way to go about all this, and ideally I want to find a place that already has tenants living in it. Thank you all for your help!

 Yes please, I would like to know more about this program as well. Thank you.

I am looking to invest in real estate for myself. Currently I am 26 and am working in healthcare. I wand to begin creating equity for myself and building my real estate portfolio. I am wondering what my first properties should be for investing in. I work in Portland OR, and would like to find a property to invest in in the greater Portland area. Prices here are quite high, but I am wondering if perhaps I should invest in a one bedroom condo first using a 3% down payment. That way I can start building my equity and possibly find a roommate to help subsidize my mortgage payments. 

But again, the hardest part for me is getting started. That's why I am posting this today so I can find some answers and possibly make some in person connections with other real estate investors. Thank you for reading this posting, and thank you in advance for your time.
