Leslie Pappas Ali Boone Thanks for the warm welcome! Very much appreciated! I didn't expect this kind of response from a single forum post. I'll be doing some digging on the site and will definitely reach out when I have some solid questions :) Thanks again!! Daniel

Hello Jo-Ann and Kody! Thanks for the wonderful replies. Jo-Ann, I certainly believe getting to know local investors is a wonderful idea. I know that it is highly recommended based on the first 15 podcast episodes I've listened to on BP! If you are familiar with any Southern California groups, I'd love to learn of them. Kody, San Diego certainly is an expensive place to start a real estate investing endeavor. I'm open to several locations but think I'd like to invest in the southwest (San Diego, Las Vegas, and Phoenix). I hear the market in Portland really is booming! Thank you for listing the big 6 that I should be focusing on and providing the tip in regards to management! Best, Daniel

Hey all,

I'm Daniel Spaizman, a newbie to both Bigger Pockets and to Real Estate Investing.  I have lived in San Diego for 3 years (grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area) and am looking to move outside the comfort of a W2.  More specifically, I have a goal of using Real Estate Investing (Buy and Hold) to generate enough cash flow to move towards financial freedom.  Hoping to make my first purchase in the next 6 months!

Currently, I have great experience in engineering (power systems engineer by trade), but absolutely none in REI. I am looking to build out a network filled with quality, knowledgeable, and supportive folks and hope to return the favor.

I was informed of BP by a gentleman that I met on a flight from San Diego, CA to Oakland, CA and cannot thank him enough.  The podcasts and website, alike, are filled with awesome material for both new and seasoned investors.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and feel free to drop me a line!
