Newbie from Irvine, CA

[Jeremy Lee]

Hey all, I'm new to the forum here and am eager to learn more about real estate investing for the purpose of building longer-term passive income. I'm a complete newbie to the game so I have a lot to learn, even to figure out if this is viable in my situation as far as time is concerned (married solo-earner w/ one kid and another on the way). I currently reside in a condo that I co-own with my parents (75/25 where I'm on the smaller end) which we went in on back in 2007 (back then I was just following along and not really involved in how the process worked). While it's a nice situation to be in, I'd still like to broaden my horizons as far as building income is concerned. I've been reading "Building Wealth One House at a Time" by John Schaub and am currently considering how I could make investing in homes for cash flow and appreciation a reality. And I have just recently begun listening to some BP podcasts. I'm looking forward to meeting like-minded peers and researching various topics here.

Jeremy Lee Welcome to BP. There is a location where like minded investors gather in Lake Forest, California every month that you should check out. You will need to PM me for the details, since Biggerpockets will not let me post that information here.

If you would like to chat before then and talk about investing let me know. I am in Mission Viejo and can get together at my local Starbucks. Your ALL in cost is only a cup of coffee.

I am currently flipping homes in Orange County and teach others how to do so as well. I started a wholesaling group and spend my Saturday mornings with them.

I am looking for my next purchase at the court house steps, while I am working on a few more.

Good Investing...
