San Diego Novice

[Brian Stieler]

Hey BiggerPockets,

I'm getting started in REI and will be interested to see what the San Diego scene holds. I have a background in advertising and web design, and plan to bring my marketing abilities into finding/selling properties. Sorry if you've tried to check out an REI book from the downtown central library, they're all currently covering my coffee table. I've been reading a ton, and trying to wrap my head around the different strategies, payment options and "first steps".

At the moment I'm focused on flipping and buy/hold. I've heard buy/hold isn't very profitable here, but I'm sure I can find something.

If anyone in San Diego is interested in meeting up, feel free to connect with me. I find that doing > reading any day, and look forward to getting out there and getting some true experience.

My weekends are open, so if you have some marketing questions or on site work that needs to get done, I'm happy to exchange my time for knowledge/experience.

I look forward to seeing you all in the forums.

- Brian
