+1 on good karma:)

thank you all. I am currently listening to the podcasts. I dont know if it is just me, but with every podcast I am super excited and eager to learn more and more :) Hopefully will work my way into investing soon.

Thanks for the post Martin. I learnt about Oakland meet through Minh. I would love to join but the distance makes it hard for me given it is on a weekday and the kids have their after school activities etc to take care of. I can definitely try attending the Fremont one and maybe the Santa cruz. Will keep following the Oakland meet - if not me, will see if I can have my husband come and attend next time around - atleast to get to know the group and do the initial intro

Thank you Dave and Michael.

Thanks Raghuveer - feeling is def mutual :)

I am a newbie and trying to go through the articles and do my research here. If I want to analyze properties within northern CA, is there a recommended list of cities / zip codes to look at as the first investment? I doubt if I will go anywhere beyond 200K to learn this process and get my feet in investing.

Also, I do see properties for less than 60K in NC and few other states - has anyone invested there living out of state? If yes, how do you figure out which is a good neighborhood, do you engage with an agent there?

Any pointers will be of great help

Thank you Minh. Will look it up on the right side. The articles and blogs and very interesting. Nice to have some buddies from our area here to figure out how the market here is different from the other states :)

Hey nice to meet someone from bay area. Would love to touchbase with you to see if I can utilize my free time in any way useful - yet to get familiarized with this site - can we publish email ids to take it offline?

Hi,

My name is Lakshmi. I am from Northern California. A stay at home who came across this site by accident - why not spend time learning on something that I have no clue about :)
