@Bill Hampton Thank you brother!

@Elliott Elkhoury $20k is a good chunk of money especially for a newbie like me. Glad too I didn’t pull the trigger . The information I’ve learned here in BP is already worth $20k and it’s FREE.

I see you’re in Sacramento. Actually thought about maybe getting a duplex in the Carmichael/ Arden area since Bay Area is so expensive, just to get my feet wet before venturing out of state but not sure if that’ll be a good move.

@Jeremy Taggart Thanks! I concur.Just soaking myself with information ,saving $$$ for capital and been practicing in BP calculator. Learned so far that Midwest area has been a great spot for investing for the past few years but getting hard to find a good deal lately. Targeting early 2020 to dive in.

Hello BP community,

I work as an ER Nurse and got  bit by the real estate bug early this year after getting my property in the Bay Area. Attended a couple of seminars about real estate investing and almost bought a $20k advance education from a seasoned investor. Thank God another attendee from the seminar enlightened and referred me to BiggerPockets instead. 

Its almost 1.5 months since I've been listening to BP Podcasts and just finished reading BTs book, Rental Property Investing. Currently with DGs book , BRRRR and can't wait to start JSs, Estimating Rehab Costs . Turned Pro today after attending my first webinar with Brandon , " How to buy your first, second, or third rental property". So far , I've learned a ton of valuable information here in BP !

I'm still in the stage of sharpening my axe by reading books , listening podcasts and attending webinars , but leaning towards doing a BRRRR strategy outside CA in due time. I don't have much to offer (knowledge wise) regarding REI at this point but you can ask me if you need any opinion regarding Emergency Nursing=) So excited to be part of this community! Looking forward to learn more and connect with most of you.

Your Friend,

Armel
