Another one hooked - Hello from Santa Monica, CA

[James Calabrese]

Hello BP faithful,

I'm excited to introduce myself and go full throttle from here with everyone! My name is James Calabrese, and I relocated to Santa Monica, CA 1.5 years ago from Washington, DC. I tossed everything in my car and sprinted cross country to work on a tech startup in the real estate industry and I've been hooked on real estate ever since. 

Beyond my work, I cut my teeth with my first primary residence purchase in Dec of 2014, and now it's time to get a few more under my belt. In preparation I've been blasting the bigger pockets podcast constantly for a few months, reading the books you all evangelize, and am studying to become an Agent by the end of the year. 

I'm most excited to start meeting other investors in my area to learn a little bit about my market, get some guidance as I start, and see how I can help others with my skills and time. I've got a laundry list of questions ready (which I'll start tossing out on the forums?), and I few ideas I've been cooking up I think are pretty slick. 

So drop me a line if you'd like to chat. I'm pumped for the days/months/years ahead and wish you all the best. 

Cheers, James
