Hello from SF Bay Area....
Hello all...I've been reading BP for a while and joined about a week ago. My wife and I live and work in the middle of Silicon Valley. We are originally from Texas and we own a SFR in Las Vegas that is rented (with a story)...more about that at a later time. We are currently finishing renovation on the home we live in, and I have extensive experience with remodeling, renovations and landscaping.
My wife Tammy is a legal asst in a worldwide law firm, and I work as a Emergency Room nurse.
I am more of a novice in RE investing and have been studying for quite some time...but have trouble pulling the trigger at times...paralysis by analysis. While Tammy is very new to the arena.
We just wanted to say hello and that we hope our experience will add to the community at large and hope to learn from all of you as well.

Lol...thanks for the welcome Rob!
When we first moved to Southern California we lived across the street from the ocean and spent all our time there with our young kids...treasured memories!!
Unfortunately...I live nowhere near the ocean anymore...but I gotta tent you can use if you come out!
Had some fun times in Cleveland years ago....that 90* turn in the middle of y'all's freeway is insane...lol...can't believe that's not in the news more...lol.
Welcome Joel! Fellow(ette) CA resident with a southern accent :) But in LA from Georgia.

Thanks so much Gino! Tammy and I are both enjoying the website as well as the podcasts and feel as though are heads are swelling with all the amazing information and ideas we are finding here on BP! Thanks so much for your welcome!
You're very welcome Joel. The bulk of information that is available for all of us to learn from on this website may be overwhelming at first but it is inevitably invaluable and insightful. I've learned A LOT of what I now know about R.E.I. on BiggerPockets and I'm truly thankful that this site exists. Once again, welcome to the community. I hope you enjoy your time spent here on BiggerPockets.
LOL! "yew" Sadly, you're spot on the money. That's exactly how it sounds. Lol. But my favorite is the world's shortest question- "Jeet?" ("did you eat?") Or more accurately, "did yew eat?"
I love it.

We enjoy where we currently live Ali, but of course there is nothing like going back home to where we grew up...jet? Is hilarious...never heard that one before as a joke...it just always sounded normal to me...lol. Thanks for the laughs Ali!!
