@Stephen DeThample Las Vegas is another market that is on my radar! My goal is to have my market selected by April, so that I can begin growing my local contacts.  I'll definitely reach out, if we decide to go with Las Vegas.  Thank you!

@Jessie Dillon Adding Multifamily Millionaire to the queue!  Thank you!

@Jimmy Lieu Ohio is on the radar! Still working through our market analysis to choose our location, and will reach out when we get that nailed down.  Thank you for your message!

@Twana Rasoul Completely hear you there! I decided on a phased approach (focusing on research, moving onto analysis, action, etc.) to ensure I don't get caught in an academic deadlock.  I agree with you (and the podcasts), application of our skills is where the rubber meets the road and we truly learn.  I appreciate your comment and welcome!  Thank you!

@Mitch Smith I'd love to pick your brain and find out what you think are the best strategies that work here in San Diego.  I can see the long-game appreciation opportunities, but harder to find those cash flow deals for starting off.

@Nick Giulioni Thanks, Nick! Will do!

I really want to thank everyone again for the warm welcome.  Real estate investing can be intimidating, but this community has posting/learning easy.  Thank you!

Thank you, @Sophia Buesing! I'll be sure to let everyone know!  The pains and the successes!

@Bradley Buxton: Those markets are also on the radar! We do like Temecula (even as potential STR homes). Las Vegas has its perks! Not too far, and a lot of blue collar workers. And, it has Nellis AFB there too. And who doesn't like visiting Vegas?

Thank you so much for the warm welcome, BP Forums!

@Account Closed: All 3 you name are part of our goals: financial independence, quitting the nine to five, and leaving a legacy.  When working out my Why, I articulated it as "I want to do what I want, when I want.  I want my daughter to want to have her wedding on our property."

@Justine Phillipson: I've been researching turnkey options as a way to get my feet wet in other markets, get some experience with some positive cash flow, then dive into other aspects of investing that we enjoy.  I'm glad to hear that others choose turnkey (sounds like this could be a philosophical debate!).

@Dan H.: Love the long game strategy with appreciation, and I think San Diego (and California, in general) offers great appreciation. I would prefer to invest locally, but as you point out, it's so hard to establish that initial cash flow.

@Samuel Diouf: I've been reading about the Ohio markets!  Definitely on the radar!

Again, thank you all for the welcome.  It's been great learning from all of you so far (with the little lurking I've been doing)!

Thank you so much, @Account Closed!

Hello BP Community!

I'm Bill from San Diego.  I've made a goal to purchase my first real estate investment this year.  I'm still learning about different strategies, markets, etc. from podcasts, books, and the learning articles here.  Currently reading Brandon Turner's "The Book on Rental Property Investing."  

I'm thinking about David Greene's "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing" considering the challenge for entry in the San Diego market.  Also considering J Scott/Dave Meyer's "Real Estate by the Numbers."

Any recommendations for my next?
