New SF Bay Area Investor

Hello BP! I've been listening to podcasts and reading books non-stop since finding BP a few months ago, and figured it was finally time to post something. I've lived in the Bay Area off-and-on for several years and currently call San Ramon home. I work full-time in SF and am new to Real Estate Investing, so BP has made my daily BART commute much more tolerable!

I just purchased my first fix & flip property with a neighbor/partner last month, and it's been quite the learning experience. There's certainly a lot more that goes into the rehab process than I thought!

I'm looking to do a few more fix & flips over the coming year and then adding some buy & holds, most likely out of state (or at least out of the Bay Area). To that end I'm interested in meeting other local investors and it looks like there are several REIA groups in the Bay Area to choose from. Any recommendations on a good one for a new investor to attend?

Matt
