Hi Everyone! 

I've been lurking on the site and listening to podcasts for a couple months, and I'm really getting fired up to purchase my first investment property this summer.  Currently my only experience is purchasing my primary residence, although I have flipped two boats in the past.  

My plan right now is to purchase my first investment property this summer, preferably near where I live in Marin County.  My alternate plan is to purchase either a single-family or smaller multi-family in Eugene Oregon.  

Yesterday I found out the single family next door to house I grew up in is in pre-foreclosure, and in serious need of a rehab.  I tried knocking on the door yesterday but nobody was home, so I left my info with the family currently living in the house I grew up in.  If don't hear from the homeowners by tomorrow, I'm going to give knocking on the door a second try and leave a note.  

Excited to be here and to purchase my first REI!
