Hi Everyone,

I'm a newbie to real estate. I work a 9 to 5 job, so I try to squeeze in time for learning whenever I can.

If you're also relatively new to real estate and live in the San Gabriel Valley (Los Angeles) area of California, it would be great to meet up and push each other to keep learning.

I eventually see myself buying and holding two to four unit properties, flipping properties every now and then, and one day moving on to some commercial properties (way down the road).

Currently in the education phase, I'm reading all that I can, listening to podcasts, and have joined some local real estate groups.

Also, if any of you know of someone in the area with some real estate experience that I can buy lunch for, or run errands for, in exchange for some direction and advice, I'd appreciate it very much.

I look forward to interacting with all of you here on Bigger Pockets.

Take care,

Brian
