Newbie from Santa Cruz, CA - Hello BP Community!

[Eric Van Vliet]

Hi BP Community! My name is Eric Van Vliet and I have been reading articles on bigger pockets for a few months but this is my first post! I have some experience with passive real estate investing (One SFR generating $200/month cash flow) but still consider myself a newbie due to the very passive role I had in this investment. I am looking to significantly grow my portfolio this year with a focus on out-of-state multi-family buy and hold as my preferred strategy (but open to other types of REI!). I’m looking to connect with other investors in the area in the area in an effort to learn more about REI, and start growing my portfolio any way I can!
