@Charlie FitzgeraldThank you! I plan on learning as much as possible! I am excited to have found a community online that is willing to help each other out so freely!
@Cornelius Charles I love Ventura County! I feel so blessed living on the Central Coast, it is a special place! I might just take you up on that offer!
@David Tipton They really are invaluable! I am currently going through The Smart Passive Income and Epic Real Estate Investing podcasts. I haven't gotten to the BiggerPockets Podcast but do plan to listen to it soon.
I definitely am open to other forms of investing but just have not researched wholesaling and "fix and flip" as much as "buy and hold" yet. I will definitely be looking into the Santa Maria/Lompoc area and if the numbers work I would much prefer to invest there, than out of state. Just have a lot of hard work to put in before I can nail down my exact strategy.
On a side not I would love to be able to "house hack" a multifamily property for my first property! That would be ideal for me to start out!
@Antonio ColemanThanks for taking the time to read and comment on my post! I hope to network as well!
@Matthew PaulsIt is great seeing other locals active on this site! I have seen this meetup too, almost went to the last meeting but I ended up being out of town. Let me know if you ever want to meet up or if you plan on going to the meetup, I am planning to attend one soon. Would be great to bounce some ideas off of each other maybe.
Thank you all for the warm welcome to BiggerPockets! I hope to see you all in the forums! Happy Holidays!
