New investor in San Diego closing in on my first property

[Ann-Marie Vargas]

Hello everyone my name is Ann-Marie! I have been on Bigger pockets very often and have listened to every podcast about twice! I don't know why it took me so long to write my intro post but I guess its better late than ever. I have been actively educating myself for the last year and a half on REI. Along with that I am also in the process of getting my real estate license. The reason first started with educational purposes but now I see myself emerging myself in the industry entirely.

Right now I am in the process of buying my Grandfathers house. After he passed away my family longer wants the property anymore and I am looking to take it over. I plan on living in the property and renting out the other units. The house is 5 minutes from downtown San Diego which I know makes it a great location. My goal is to get everything situated by the next couple of months.

Long term I want to make REI a full time thing and am excited to get started. I do also know that I do not know everything and I still have many questions. If anyone in the SAN DIEGO or Southern CA area knows of any good meetups/events besides the ones advertised on bigger pockets or any on bigger pockets that they would recommend I would greatly appreciate it. I really want to know what is going on in the SD Market. I am always seeking greater knowledge and looking to connecting with people. Once again Hello everyone and I'm excited to be here!
