Hi Bigger Pockets,

My name is Scott and I am from Placerville, CA about 30 minutes northeast of Sacramento in Northern California.

I found this site recently by googling "Best Real Estate Investment Forum" and Biggerpockets.com showed up at the top of every list.

A little bit about my investment history is that I have been working on and off for my Dad who is a broker/investor.  He has been fixing and flipping houses for over 40 years and I basically grew up around it my whole life.  Also, he has always had 5-10 rental properties both locally and out of state at any given time.

The last five years or so I've spent working as a raft guide, travelling the world, and working here and there with my Dad.  Fun, Yes.  Lucrative, NO!  So I'm back and as of 2016 will be taking over operations and all of our fix and flips.  I gave myself till I was 30...and I just turned 31.

I'm SUPER excited with this opportunity and want to make the best of it.  My Father is definitely an "Old Dog", but he is fine with me bringing in some "New tricks".

I look forward to learning as much as I can here, meeting some great folks, and hopefully helping others along the way.

Scott
