thanks @Mehran K. .. I saved the podcast to listen to later this evening 

Leonard L. Or Danielle J. Would love to get in contact with you.

Rick Harmon Thanks for the warm welcome... Always enlightening when a veteran member comes in to tell you using keywords as a means to find info regarding my area of interest won't teach me anything even though you mentioned I lacked education. I am sure general info won't help me with how laws are structured in California vs say Texas. Yes I do trade my time for money, however I also run a business, I market myself and create value in what I have to offer, solve problems and always creating other venues of income in the fitness industry. Your suggestions on meeting groups were irrelevant to me since, I am not going to drive 2 hours to go to a meeting one way in Arcadia. Also going to a women's club when I'm a man won't work either.. Again thanks for the warm welcome

I just joined BP also.. I am from irvine, CA! Glad too see lot of local folks.

Thanks Jared... I was actually thinking in Murrietta and surrounding areas due to the growth that has happening there. Also I will plan on setting up key words alerts for those areas.. Maybe LA might be good too

Hello! My name is Brandyn and I am from Irvine, CA. I am a fitness company owner for personal training also in Irvine. I am 28 almost 29 in March and recently engaged. We plan on getting married in April of 2016. Many of my wealthier clients have investment properties. They either had the wealth before hand and bought a few multi unit properties or multiple single family homes or they bought many many years ago and buying is different today. All of them are out in other states vs buying in California. I know that I can't be a trainer all my life so figured I would start investing since its "passive" income. Irvine being one of the most expensive places to buy/live besides maybe NY and SF, I don't think an investment property here is the right choice. I don't have the capital that my clients have so they can't point me where to start for my first property.. They suggested in California and close by so maintain it but they don't invest in California due to taxes. I've been looking at zillow to see the difference in prices/rents in local areas. I saved a few posts to read up but other than that, I haven't got too deep into it yet since joining. My client who is a lender said I would qualify for about 200k based on my income and if I went with my fiancée it would be near 500k. I have a 740 credit score and about 30k saved. Her credit score is not great and has nothing saved. I guess I would love a mentor of sorts. Thanks!
