Introducing myself, I am new here.

[Carl J Alexander]

Hello BP community. My name is Carl and I am new here and it's nice to meet you. I have not yet invested in my first property and am excited to do so in the future. I am looking for a couple of suggestions on getting started, can someone point me in the correct direction?

1) Local communities. I am located near Boise, Idaho and am wondering if there is a way to search the local forums for content relative to the state of Idaho. I can click on each page and search every post but I'm hoping there is an easier way?

2) I am working on the Bigger Pockets podcast content and I am looking for any other podcasts, blogs, or books which people think are most helpful to a beginner.

Thanks everyone!

Carl

Hi Carl. I too am new to BiggerPockets, and I'm from SW Boise. What I did is I went into settings > Keywords and set a keyword alert for Boise. You can set it up to show up in notifications, or shoot you an email, or even a text. That keyword alert is how I found your post! :)
