Hey everyone, I'm looking into starting a land fund for my development company.

But on the investing side, I’m here to learn, network, and build long-term relationships with flippers, landlords, agents, contractors, and other professionals in Oregon and Washington.I’m especially interested in:Building a stronger local networkLearning from experienced investorsUnderstanding multi-unit renovationsImproving renovation systemsExploring BRRRR and small development opportunitiesMy goal on Bigger Pockets isn’t to push business — it’s to be part of the community, contribute where I can, and connect with people who are also serious about growth and long-term success.If you’re in Oregon or Washington and open to networking or sharing experiences, I’d love to connect.Glad to be here and excited to learn from everyone.— DenisPortland, OR Welcome Denis!

With over 10 years of experience in real estate data, property insights, and market trends, I’ve developed a strong understanding of how accurate, timely data helps investors uncover real opportunities and make informed decisions.I’m here to learn, share insights, and build meaningful connections with others who are serious about growing in real estate.

I’m based in Dubai, where I work in international sales and broker relations for one of the region’s fastest-growing developers.

I read about a technique in a home study course by Peter Conti and David Finkel which they called the "Big Money Cash Close".  

You learn the process without the pressure of a full 20-unit development.
