Hello, I'm Maria and so glad to have found this forum/site! I currently live in the Tri-Valley area, originally from Mountain View (better known as Googleville these days) and still work in MV. 

I have two rental properties, lived there and moved without selling over the years, and am considering selling the condo to invest in a flip or a single family rental instead. Ready to be done with hoa and the fees.

Since I haven't had the best experiences with real estate agents I decided to get my real estate license before making my next move. Passed the test on Monday (Yay!) and now I'm trying to figure out the best broker for me to hang my license. Since I've been self managing my rentals for the last 10 years and feel I have a good handle on it I am also interested in property management, but I know it's tricky if not impossible without a broker license. Would love any advice on that!

I've had a chance to listen to a few podcasts, randomly in no particular order, and they are great! Almost wishing I had to do the commute more often so I had more time to listen. ;-)
