Accidentally hit post and couldn't undo, I have 1 SFH, looking for more in Fresno. I live in LA but I was born and raised, left in 2010 after finishing college at Fresno state. I like to rank the areas by high school. I grew up on kings canyon, went to Fresno high school, then Fresno state and lived north of Herndon for 5 years before leaving. If you have any questions about different areas I may be able to help. My family is still there so I visit quite often.

Thanks guys, read your blogs, enjoying all the information I'm learning here.  I'll be on the forums soon after my mind calms down, I'm processing the knowledge overload at the moment.  

Loving the energy here.

Hey BP,

Glad to have found this awesome community full of knowledge, can't wait to see how much I can learn from you guys.  I been listening to a lot of the podcasts and taking a lot of notes.

Born and raised in Fresno, CA and Alumni of Fresno State.  I am a full time engineer, on the road worldwide 80% of the time so I spend a lot of time in hotels.  Wanted to buy a house for myself but since I'm never around I felt it would be wasteful, last year with interest rates and housing market so low (before i even knew about BP!), I took a leap and purchased a short sale single family home to be used as a rental property.  Locked in a low interest rate and been coming out positive, tenants just renewed for a 2nd year so I am feeling really good, maintenance work has been minimal.  Starting to look for a 2nd property in Fresno to continue building my fortune.

Currently:
-Learning a lot about tax breaks / deductions available 
-Landlording, 
-Different ways to increase ROI (interested in how others are doing in the same market)
-Weighing pros and cons(risk) if I should try section 8 tenants
-finding good repair/maintenance men

Excited to share my experiences while learning from BP's wealth of knowledge.
