New Member from Santa Rosa, CA

[Kyle B.]

My name is Kyle, and I have been a long time reader on BiggerPockets, but have finally just now joined the site. I am an engineer by trade and I started in real estate in Sacramento in 2010 by buying a fourplex and living in one unit. Since then, I have added additional buy and hold residential properties, and even dipped my toe into the commercial office market.

In late 2015 I relocated to Santa Rosa, CA and I have found this to be a pretty expensive market so far. I am currently interested in several aspects of real estate, from buy and hold residential to commercial opportunities. Specifically, I would also love to explore opportunities in syndication and other lending aspects.

Hi Kyle. Welcome and congrats for joining! It sounds like you've already gained some valuable experience with buy and hold properties. I agree with the philosophy, "live where you want to live and invest where the numbers make sense." I live in Boston but I choose to invest in syndications in markets like Dallas Forth Worth where the numbers make sense and the economics and demographics are still rising. If you have any questions regarding syndication, selecting a market, etc. feel free to reach out. 

Happy investing!

Mike
