Introduction

Hi, I'm Sharon Wenger, I'm an experienced RE investor (I own 3 triplexes) and a realtor with RealEstate.com in the Portland area. I look forward to getting to know other investors, brokers and agents in the area to share ideas!

What is your background and experience in investing and real estate so far?

I've been an investor in the Southern California market since 1987 -- yes, I started in the days when interest rates were 16%! I learned to rehab properties, do 1031 exchanges, and went very, very slowly! I'm accelerating my learning curve now!

What do you most need to learn in order to become a more proficient investor?

How to use creative financing, benefit from others' experience, and learn as many different techniques and strategies as I can! I'm also looking to expand into commercial properties and multi-family buildings!

What is your vision for your preferred real estate investment portfolio on June 1st, 2012?

About 50 multi-family buildings and maybe a dozen or so houses on lease-to-own or short-term investments (rehabbing), and I'd like to own a lot of notes on real estate, help people with short sales and foreclosures, and become an expert investor.

Tell us a little about yourself and your business.

As an investor, I look for ways to add value to a property, offering practical and beautiful housing that holds value and appreciates over time. As a realtor, I work with other investors and newbies, with a goal of increasing their passive income.

Additional Information

"I'm hoping to add as many new events to the calendar as possible, so people have a lot of things to choose from. Let us know what type of events, and where, you would like to attend!"

What Sharon Wenger is saying about this Meetup Group

If I was a newbie, just getting started in real estate, I would be excited at the thought of getting in when everyone else is running the other way... that's what smart investors do!
