Newbie Investor from Newport Beach, California

[Mike Bargetto]

I'm Mike and I am coming from sunny Newport Beach, CA! We purchased a home last year and while we currently live in it we are looking now to see what is out there for buy-and-hold rental investments. I have heard great things about Bigger Pockets and now after listening to a couple of podcasts a day over the last week, this BP community is showing me there is hope to us finding great opportunities. I am a local fireman, a strong libertarian and a below-average fly fisherman. I look forward to learning more about the folks on the forums and perhaps I'll even meet some of you in person someday! We really look forward to buying several properties in the coming years throughout the country. 

In the name of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, thanks for having me!

Mike
