Another Sacramento Newbie!

Hello BP community, I'm finally joining the forums after listening to the BP podcast for a few months and am stoked to get started in real estate. I love that there is a place to receive guidance and feedback in a medium that takes out much of the intimidation. 

I recently moved to Sacramento, CA from the Bay Area and one of the main reasons was to get away from spending a ridiculous % of paychecks on rent. I'm hoping to get my feet wet in real estate through house hacking or live & flip in an effort to stop throwing away money on rent, but am definitely starting from ground zero in terms of locating and financing deals. 

My professional background is in residential Energy Efficiency consulting, so I am familiar with retrofit projects as they relate to occupant comfort, improving energy bills, improving indoor air quality, and health & safety. I also love working with my hands and doing occasional woodworking. My long term goal is to bridge my background in Energy Efficiency with real estate investing to offer clients homes that are efficient, safe, and comfortable. 

Again, I'm thrilled to get started and look forward to establishing my network. I welcome any tips or guidance. Cheers!

@Alex Sloanwelcome to Sacramento and Bp. I would bet more than half of Lincoln , Rocklin and west Roseville is made up of Bay Area transplants . If you ever have questions about financing or the area , send me a message . When a real estate investor buys a 50 year old home and they see single pane Windows they replace them . All other energy efficient decisions are based on if the money spent can increase profit or not .
