Hi all. My name is Stan and I've been on BP for a few months now. Its been absolutely amazing. I've also attended a couple of BP meetups. I've learned so much but realize there was actually so much more that I didn't know. I am 42, married with 3 kids and work full-time for LA County. My goal is to be able to leave my job in 8-13 years if I could replace my income with REI. I still am trying to focus in on what my rei strategy will be as its shifted with each forum post and blog I read, or webinar I listen to. Definite analysis paralysis. I am interested in buy and hold rentals in the Southern California area and considering investing in Big Bear, Coachella Valley area, Bakersfield and South LA. I am also interested in learning more about syndication, parterships and passive investing. Any advice and guidance for a newbie like me is greatly appreciated.
