Thank you everyone for the warm welcome. There is so much to learn here! I'm going to soak it all up. I see many, many nights and weekends deep into reading BP articles and listening to podcasts in my future. Heck, this might just motivate me to go the gym more often. I can use the treadmill and listen to podcasts without the husband or the kids bothering me. LOL.

Hello everyone, My name is Hilda. My family and I live in Solano County, CA. My hope is to buy a rental property within the next year or two in the Sacramento area.

The reasons for the wait are:

1) So that I can learn as much as possible about investing in real estate (and possibly get a Realtor license). My experience is very limited. I bought a townhouse when I was in my early 20s, sold that one and used the proceeds as a down payment for our current house. My husband and I bought a short sale last year which I am now using for my home-based business.

2) Raise funds for a down payment and slush fund to cover vacancies, repairs, etc.

I love that BP is such a vibrant community and has such a wealth of knowledge. I hope to learn a lot and also contribute when I can. Thank you.
