Another new guy from Bay Area

Hi all,

I was going to ask a question in another forum but felt it might be more appropriate to introduce myself first.

I'm Wesley, hailing from Walnut Creek area. I'm a full time computer nerd and work in Silicon Valley. I'm a part-time property manager, fixer, and investor-wanna-be. I've lived all over the Bay Area in the last 12 years and did the buy-ugly-house, rehab, live in it for 2 years, and sell thing about 5 times. Is that called flipping? Probably not. This last one didn't work out too well and I'm still living in this one. Definitely not a flip! :)

Lately, I've set a goal to acquire 3-4 rental and/or flip properties this year, working with a Realtor, and currently 0 for 5 on the above-asking offers I've made. Crazy. I'm working on getting the RE salesman license to help out with finding and seeing more properties.

Enough about me, what a GREAT resource here! Ever since googling "What to do when your renter dies" and finding this site, it's been endless late nights perusing the posts and blogs. And I listen to the podcast during my commute.

Thanks to the creators and all the forum posters for creating and contributing to this invaluable website!
