Hello!

My name is Giselle Toscano. I am based in Sacramento, California looking to start and pursue a career in real estate!

Any advice, tips, words of wisdom I am open ears!

What type of career do you want to pursue?

Hey Giselle - welcome to BP! Are you thinking about doing more buy and holds or fix and flip then sell? As for resources and connecting with other investors, take advantage of BiggerPockets through books, podcasts, articles, meetups and/or conferences! There is plenty of material to take a look at that will certainly help you on your investment journey.

Hey Welcome to the community!
The best advice I can offer is to focus on building connections. No matter which path you take in real estate, surrounding yourself with professionals from different fields—contractors, lenders, brokers, investors. Everyone can give you invaluable insights. Networking is key in this business, so don’t hesitate to reach out and collaborate. Wishing you all the best on your journey!

Welcome to BiggerPockets!

We’re thrilled you've joined us. BiggerPockets is full of resources designed to help you along your journey, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned investor. Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available:

1. Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass). There's a good chance the issue(s) you face has already been discussed and answered.
2. Ask questions in the appropriate forum. If you need financial help, ask under the "Finance, Tax, and Legal" forum. Asking in the correct forum will get a better response.
3. Read the RULES! We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc. Please keep those posts in the Classifieds forum.
4. Need a spreadsheet or form? Check out FilePlace, where user-created forms are available for free. A link to FilePlace is at the bottom of every page, making it easy to find.
5. If you have technical issues, email [email protected], and someone will help you.
6. Have a problem in the forums? We pride ourselves in keeping the forums positive, helpful, and focused on real estate (please, no politics, religion, etc.). If you see someone violating the rules, create a post with "@moderators" and we will receive a notification and respond.
