Under 30 and working my first property in Northern California

[Ben Hampton]

Hello! 

My name is Ben, I am 25 and just bought my first property here in northern California, (3bed/2bath with mountain top views) it is located between Ukiah and Willits. I am in the middle of my renovations right now, nothing serious in my mind but replacing siding, new kitchen, and bathrooms, etc. I hope to turn the main house into a rental and live in one of the renovated outbuildings on the property, does anyone have experience with this? 

I have been around real estate my how life but this is my first deal of my own. I work in Cloverdale but grew up in Sonoma County in the Santa Rosa area. I would love to connect with other Mendocino county investors and am thinking of starting a meetup group.

My real estate goals are to create enough passive income to replace my job. 

looking forward to connecting with folks here! 

Cheers
