New guy from Yuba City, California.

[Jeff Kennedy]

Hello everyone. I'm from Yuba City, California (about 40 miles north of Sacramento). I'm very excited to be here on BiggerPockets. I've been reading forums and articles on here for several months now. This site is better than any book out there! My real job is in management in the air ambulance industry. I was a paramedic for several years then moved into management a few years ago. I just started in REI (part time on the side) about a year ago. I have one duplex and a fourplex that have fantastic cash flows. I've noticed some big changes in price (higher) and inventory (lower) just in the last six months or so in my in my area. I can't seem to find the same type of deals that I found 9-12 months ago. I can see from other forum posts that others are experiencing this in their areas too.

Thank you for reading. I look forward to learning from all of you. The quantity and quality of advice and information on this site is trully amazing.

Hi Jeff! Welcome to BP. I'm not too far away from you and I also operate in the Sacramento region and starting to do a little up in your area...just bought a house in Wheatland. I was in law enforcement and was a firefighter/EMT many years ago when I used to work for a living. Nowadays I fly helicopters for fun. Sounds like we have a lot in common! Did your company just get bought?
