New Member from Irvine, California

[Thomas Lorini]

Hey BP members!!

I'm a new member, living in beautiful Irvine California...I can't get enough of all the great information and "real-life" experience that people are sharing....LOVING IT!!

Not only am I a new member to BP but I'm actually new to the US...I've made the move from the north...you know the country where which everyone lives in igloos and rides dog-sleds....you may have heard of our two dollar coin called the "Loonie"...yup I'm originally from Canada.

Being new its going to take me some time to earn a solid credit history to allow lenders to lend me some $$. In the meantime I plan on learning how investing strategies differ here in the US compares to Canada....I started investing in SFH rentals in early 2011 and continue to purchase even from long distance.

I actually just closed my first JV deal yesterday...yeah!!

I am actually consider investing in Canada with US dollars a significant advantage...some of you may not know that the Canadian dollar has dropped to $0.80 compared to the USD....that's a 20% discount right off the bat! Not bad at all....

Anyways looking to learn, network, meet and communicate with other investors across the Board.

To everyones success!!!

Thomas
