@Brad Thomas Welcome to BP! You might want to fill out the keyword alerts for your area, wholesale, etc. and when those terms come up in the forums you will be notified. (Look at the top of page, right side) You might also want to listen to some of the podcasts, etc., and have you read The Beginner's Guide to Investing yet? (Under Learn tab at top of page) Have fun!

    Welcome to BP @Brad Thomas !

    I suggest listening to the BP Podcasts - There are quite a few that focus on wholesaling and I think you'll love them. That's if you haven't listened to them already.

    See you around the site.

    What up @Brad Thomas

    You're in the right spot.

    We're going to have a BP MeetUP in Sacramento in January 2014. You'll be able to talk face to face with some other wholeseller. Stay tune for updates.

    Welcome Brad!

    Definitely found the right place. I have suffered from information overload on here but it was the most enlightening experience and I am in a better position to start real estate investment because of it. Stick with it, read and ask as much as you want - this is an awesome community. Hope to see you around.

    Hi Brad-

    One more hi from another Northern CA investor. Lots of good properties around here. I know I am looking forward to attending the meeting Al Williamson has scheduled at the end of January and meeting more local investors. Also, this BP site is just amazing; I could spend 24/7 on it but there's just too much to do to read and listen that much. Good luck to you.
