Transitioning From Buying to Investing

[Devin Garrett]

Hi All,  

I'm new to Bigger Pockets and Real Estate Investment.  I've bought a couple homes in the past and done well for myself but I never realized the potential Real Estate has to offer.  Now that I've discovered BP I'm consuming knowledge and am eager to make my first deal.  I'm interested in everything BP has to offer but am looking to do some house hacking and multi-family to get my feet wet.  I'm in the California Central Valley area which appears to be an area with high appreciation:

Be that as it may I'm still eager to find a great deal and even more eager to learn and connect with like minded people.  

Thanks!
