Hello From The Bay Area

[Matt K.]

Wow, I don't even know what to make of the wealth of info available here. I've been floating around for while now trying to absorb as much as I can. I'm now moving forward with some pretty big life events so why as I get serious I figured making an account is the next logical step.

I'm looking at starting out with some buy and hold properties see where that takes me. I'm used to working around numbers/data so I've been trying to evaluate deals out there. 

Learning more and more that the Bay Area is a hard market to break into and been trying to learn about out of state markets (KC, Chicago, OH, FL)
