Newbie from Hemet, California
Hey, my name is Jairo!
Im a newbie Pro-Member working toward finding my first deal. The dream is to be able to live free of the bindings of the “Employee” through my future investments in rentals. One thing I can say for sure (and I mean this) is that I will not live my future wondering “What if?”. I WILL be investing in real estate in my near future! I AM asking questions (soon here at BP as well!), I AM educating my self, I AM out there trying my best to network, and I AM open to working with anyone. Feel free to reach out if you find any interest in anything I might be doing.
I’m excited and happy to be a part of this community! Let’s see how far we can go helping each other the best we can every step of the way!
Thank you all in advance for taking the time to read my post and accepting me as one of your own!

Hi Jairo!
Welcome! I’m a newbie as well and have been digesting the information here on BP for only about a month (as well as reading books and attending Meetups). I live in the Los Angeles area and am gearing up to do my first deal by December - Preferably a small multi family duplex or triplex. I have a lot to learn in terms of finding and pursing leads and evaluating deals before I make my first offer.
I am very interested in the area around Hemet but have never had a chance to visit the area. I would love to connect and perhaps grab a coffee and chat about your goals and ask some questions about that particular area.
I don’t have any expertise to offer but would love to meet and network with you.
