@J. Martin Thanks for all the great

Thanks @Dmitriy Fomichenko .

Gene Hacker that is interesting to hear about the kern river valley market. That's great you are cash flowing. JO and cannell trail are great rides. I've heard good things about the others also although I haven't ridden them yet.

@Gene Hacker I like that area, we go up there occasionally to mountain bike, etc. Do you have vacation rentals or regular SFR`s?

Why not at least continue to network locally, listen to all the bp podcasts, consume the site, and see how much more confident you feel in a few months about your ability to analyze deals in your market? I joined bigger pockets about the same time you did knowing nothing and since then I have powered through the podcasts and now feel like I can at least speak somewhat intelligently about real estate. The main thing I feel is that I can learn everything I need without paying someone to teach me, especially at those rates. This smells like a group preying on new investors who don't yet know thier own ability to learn this stuff.

Thanks guys for the welcome.

@Brian Payne - It's good to hear from a multi family investor in Bakersfield. I'm interested in that as well as they seem to cash flow better then SFR. hope to see you around.

@Gene Hacker - Thanks for the advice. I went to the January meeting and really enjoyed it. I hope to see you around as well.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

Hi all, I work full time and am looking to start investing on the side. My main goal is to buy and hold long term while rehab/flipping to build capital. I've listened to all the podcasts and they are great. I also bought the J Scott books. I'm looking forward to reading them. I hope you are all doing good.
