First Time Investor from SF Bay Area

[Nathan Barilka]

Hi everyone, my name is Nate.

I'm a first time (well, second time) poster here on the Bigger Pockets forum and just wanted to say hi. Over the past couple months I have been soaking up as much info as I can through the BP podcasts, forums and various real estate books that have come recommended here. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, I've been here for going on 5 years. I'm interested in investing locally, however I'm currently interested in out of state investing, mainly due to the inflated local market here. I'd like to start with house flips to build capital then eventually move in to single and multi family rental properties. I'm taking it slow, learning as much as I can, and I'm looking forward to meeting people here on the forums!

Hope to talk to you soon,

Nate
