New Member from San Diego

[Danielle Wolter]

I'm new to the Bigger Pockets community and am very excited to be here - such a wealth of information already.

I am an investor from San Diego, CA looking to branch out into OOS investing due to the high cost of property here. I own 2 rental properties here in San Diego already, but bought them a few years ago without really knowing what I was doing. One cash flows, the other I am just crossing my fingers for decent appreciation (it's in downtown San Diego).

I am a licensed real estate agent in CA, but am not active. I only used it to buy my own rental properties and my personal residence. I know some, but not a lot about real estate.

I have really been working to get more educated and am very interested in using the BRRRR method of buy and hold. I have been looking at several markets such as Memphis, Knoxville, Tuscaloosa, Omaha, Madison WI, and Tulsa. I'm just trying to narrow it down to one area so I can focus on learning the market and making connections.

I work a day job and plan to use the money from that to fund my real estate investments, as well as a HELOC I am in the process of closing on.

I am excellent at analysis (I'm a numbers person at my day job), but very weak in knowledge on rehab. I hope to learn more about that part of it on Bigger Pockets, and honestly, through experience.

I am looking forward to learning a lot and making some new friends and potential business connections in these forums!
