New to BP from Ventura Ca. Work in Bakersfield

[Nick Latta]

Hello everyone.

I stumbled upon BiggerPockets a couple weeks ago while searching for sites with information on multi-family purchases, and have been reading forums and listening to podcasts since, now finally (better late than never) introducing myself.

I guess I have been involved with real estate (minimally) the last four years when purchasing my own home in Bakersfield, but then chose to rent it out and move to Ventura in order to be closer to the beach. I have been extremely lucky in having wonderful tenants, and it has been a great experience so far. After looking at homes and multi-family units for sale this last year, I decided that I need to stop watching the market, and get involved with it.

After watching the MLS in Kern county, I currently have a good amount of money saved up to purchase one or two properties, and would like to eventually earn more from real estate buy and hold investments, than I earn from my current job in Bakersfield.

Looking forward to the upcoming experiences,

Nick Latta
