New Member in the SF Bay Area
Hi everyone, I'm a new member of BiggerPockets based out of the Bay Area. I only recently found the site and am excited to learn and meet new people.
My background is in communications, business consulting and management, and some investing. I'm particularly interested in connecting with other professionals in the Bay Area, and am looking to build my network of experienced investors and cash buyers looking for high-quality deals.
Thanks a bunch for reading, really appreciate your time!

Hey Forrest,
Welcome to BP. Definitely look around the forums for the following:
- search or go to sub forums for the topics/area of your interests: Read up and participate. That's one of the best ways to learn.
- Podcasts marathon: Listen up all if possible. If not, again, search for your interest topic and listen to them.
- Check out the various free ebooks/guides on "Learn" tab. Buy some if possible to support the forum.
- Check out lots of files on "Resources/FilePlace".
Then, go out and invest on some real estate to further boost the economy :).
