Newbie from the San Francisco Bay Area

[Elizabeth K.]

Hi Everyone,

My name is Elizabeth Korondy with Urban Property Investments. I am a newbie from the San Francisco Bay Area. My husband Erik and I started investing in distressed single-family properties in Jacksonville, FL earlier this year and have just begun our search here in California’s Central Valley.

I am eager to learn and meet as many people as I can through Bigger Pockets forums and networking events. I look forward to meeting you soon.
