[Shayne Cocotis]

Hello! I think it's time I stop lurking and I introduce myself. My name is Shayne Cocotis. I was born and raised in the east bay, about to be 30 years old. I work all over the state doing construction in outside linework trade "powerlines". Union IBEW 1245. I've been interested in real estate since I was 19. I have never really felt I have had the income to invest in investment property until more recently. So I've been reading and listening to many things to try and eductate myself. I am learning but it's been slow. I haven't had a first deal in investment property and am anxious to get started. But I have so many questions upon questions I would love to be able to pick a real estate investors mind in person. I have been mainly interested in multi family properties. It would be wonderful to have a sit down in the east bay with a multi family investor during the next few weeks while I'm home in the east bay for holidays! BiggerPockets is amazing and I am very happy I found it this year. Thanks ahead of time and happy holidays to all!

Hey boss welcome to the bigger pockets community ! Just a couple things that have changed my life and the way I view things is the BP podcast, the book rich dad poor dad, the book flipping houses by j Scott available here on BP, and so much other things but those are some of the things for me! Good luck on your journey and if your ever down south near Oceanside me and my wife would like to grab some coffee with you just to talk shop!
