@Rob B., it was Marco Santarelli's podcast. He did good!

Most auctions are pulled for what ever reasons. Example, we went to an auction for Contra Costa County which, by the way, is located at the Pleasant Hill Community Center, and started with 27 scheduled Auctions.

At the auction, they have you sit and wait until the properties are legally cleared for auction. After two hours of waiting, all but one property had been pulled for one reason or another. 

For tax foreclosures, I've found bid 4 assets to be accurate.

Many of the auctions in Contra Costa are held by auction.com  Good Luck!

Hey @David Gotsill thanks for the invite, I'd love to connect!

@Rob B., I was JUST listening to a podcast around Avail. Gave good information. Thanks for the welcome!

Hey All,

I'm a native SF bay area Californian that was raised the standard way, through college and a string of jobs that had kept my head barely above water, financially.

A few years ago, I was fortunate enough to have inherited a SFR property on the north coast of Calif, free and clear, which I've turned into a long term rental. Other than that, I have no real estate experience other than purchasing your standard owner occupied home. I am a newbie for sure.

The rental has really opened my eyes to cashflow and real estate investing. Now I'd like to buy and hold more SFR properties for cashflow.

Yes, there is a lot to learn and Bigger Pockets has been a godsend. I've been reading articles and the forums, watching webinars, listening to podcasts like crazy and more to get as much education under my belt as I can.

I'm ready to go! (I think). 

With two teens and a job, I'll do my best to post, but for now it's mostly reading and loads of questions. 

thank you in advance to everyone who contributes. This site is gold. :)

Please feel free to reach out and say hello!

Warmly,

- Jhanna
