I'm near you in Sacto and I'm excited for you. You're doing the right thing connecting on BP where you can get an incredible education.

And congrats on your company - sound promising.

Hey a bunch of us local BP'ers are getting together next Saturday, Feb 27 for a summit. It would be great if you could make it as well. Check out GuildSummit.com for details.

PS - come'on upload a picture.

 Al,

     I only wish it were my company, but it's a great job! There's no method of retirement of becoming financially free with the current profession I an at, but it pays the bills.

I'll check my calendar to see if i'm available for the Summit. Thanks for the inviye!

P.S. Profile picture posted :)

Welcome to BP.  I'm just north of you in Roseville.  There's a ton of great information in this community for you to learn from, but as for an "total information download session," I suppose that would depend on the type of investing you want to pursue.  Do you want to invest in turnkey residential rental properties, rehab homes, commercial properties, etc... The list can be fairly long with just how many types of RE investing is available to you in your area.  

For some general knowledge on the topic as a whole, I'd have to recommend attending one of the Webinars put out by Brandon Turner along with the Blog posts, Podcasts, and BP YouTube channel.  He's also written some great books on income rental investing and no and low money down methods that were very helpful to me and still are.  Of course no RE book list would be complete without mentioning Rich Dad Poor Dad.  

Feel free to message me or keep posting here on the forums if you have any other questions or need help understanding something.  Good luck in your new investing journey, I think you'll enjoy it.

All the best,

-JB

 JB,

My main focus right now is doing no money down quick flips with owners who have a 55% LTV or below then peruse fix and flips once I have established some capital

Goal 1: No Money Down Quick Flips

Goal 2: Fix and Flips

Goal 3: Passive Income through Fix/ Rental Properties

Goal 4: Commercial

Goal 5: Real Estate Development

My main challenge is finding thr leads and legal contracts.

Once I peruse the leads, I would need a CRM to calculate risk.

If the risk is higher than 75%, I will not touch the deal

Regards,

Eric M. Johnston

Hi BP members! I wanted to introduce myself. My name's Eric, and I am 29 yrs old in Sacramento, CA that is brand new to Real Estate investing. I'm not afraid of hard work or getting my hands dirty. If someone here personally, or on the forums, would invest their time with me and give me a complete and total information download session, I would be more than greatful!  

I am currently a web marketing executive with a 18yr old company that is the largest IDX vendor in the country who is also partnered with Google. I specalize in helping Real Estate Agents and Brokers improve their online marketing.

I'm very excited about Real Estate investing and becoming financially free!

If someone could tell/ point me in the correct direction on how and where to start with investing... I'd greatly appreciate it! Look forward to hearing from you!

Regards

Eric
