​First Post Introduction From Oxnard, CA

[Johnathan P.]

Greetings to the Bigger Pockets community. My name is Johnathan and I’ve actually had an account with Bigger Pockets for a while but I haven’t been active on the site until now. Over the past few years, I’ve been traveling and training a lot so I didn’t have much time to give to real estate investing. Now that my wife and I are getting settled in one place, we are getting serious about real estate investing and getting out of the rat race. She is currently studying for her real estate license and I’ve been listening to the podcast (I have to drive a lot) for the past few months and I have learned a wealth of information from Josh, Brandon, and all the other contributors.

Even though I am just getting started, I purchased the pro membership. I figure the education I’ve received through the podcasts thus far is worth much more than that, so thanks to all who put the podcast together and participate in it. Additionally I wanted access to the calculators and previous webinars which is very valuable. Together, they are great mentors!

In the near term, my wife and I are looking for our first actual investment purchase in the Clovis, CA area. We are excited about finding a place and are already using the calculators to analyze properties.

I look forward to interacting with the BP community!
