Newbie from Orange County, CA
Hey BP community,
My name is Eric Geers, and I live in Irvine, CA. I'm currently a land planner at Bassenian Lagoni Architects in Newport Beach specializing in designing residential communities. A friend of mine, who is an investor in the Indianapolis, IN area (I'm originally from Fort Wayne, IN), turned me onto BiggerPockets. I am interested in getting into real estate investing, but obviously prices in Southern California are a bit intense. I would like to invest in other markets in the Midwest (i.e., the Indianapolis area), and would love any advice from someone else who is doing something similar! I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can here.
Thanks,
- Eric Geers
