Is 25k enough to start in the Bay Area?
Hello BP community I have been trying to save some money up from working 2 jobs the last couple years and I finally feel like I am in a secure enough spot to try to get into either wholesaling or flipping. I work as an EMT in Alameda County and spend a lot of time driving around so I see a ton of distressed properties. Is it a good idea to start skip tracing or returning to an area on my day off and door knock or leave door hangers? I hope to connect with you guys soon either on here or in person events. Also where would I get an RPA and Assignment Contract addendum? Again, really looking forward to work with ya'll as this is a long term endeavor and I definitely look to partner up and bring repeat business to the ones I connect with.

@Edwin Machado There is a meetup happening in Oakland at the end of the month. It is hosted by @Tyler Jahnke at Original Pattern Brewing. Very chill meetup with no pitching or sales, just REI people hanging out and talking shop. You might want to considering coming out.
