Newbie from SF Bay Area

[David Kyo]

Hey Folks, another newbie from Northern California.  I grew up in Orange County so sticking to the west coast so far.

Currently work in the tech sector out here (surprise surprise huh), but looking to learn and (hopefully) invest in RE in a passive/PT manner.

I don't have a ton of background in RE.  I have a primary residence and have roommates renters to help with the payments (not what anyone here would call cashflow positive).  First heard the term house hacking here, but have thought about it in my own naive way before.

I first came across BP when I was helping my aunt manage some of her tenants in her homes and needed answers to some questions.  I've already learned a lot via posts, the getting started ebook, and webinars and hoping to learn more to figure out how to make RE work locally for me in this very expensive area since I'm hoping to stick to local investments.

Looking forward to meeting you all and learning/sharing.
