Hi Keith E , and welcome to BP! I’m a ‘fix and hold’ investor from the Bay Area in CA, and loving it! But you’ll find a variety of every type of investor on the site, and everyone is amazingly helpful. Some pointers for you: The "Learn" link across the top navigation bar has lots of great info, and so do BP members! You can click on the ‘vote’ button if you like someone's post or is helpful, and there are ‘awards’ to earn on your profile. And you can tag people by typing @ before you type their name, then clicking their name at the bottom of the message box. Welcome to the site, and good luck in everything!

@Kevin Auyong ,

Much like Erin and I, but to an even greater extent, I really appreciate your willingness to do what it takes to make it happen. I've always been uneasy about an out of state investment where I can't manage it, but I think moving to one of those areas would be a killer way to maximize the cash flow from the equity you have. I've always wondered why more people from the Bay don't do it.. But of course, moving is big.. Hope you can make it big there! Interested in hearing about things unfold. Keep me up to date, and hopefully will see you at the next Oakland meetup in Feb!

@Erin A. ,

Thanks for being our Stockton local and sharing everything about your recent purchase. I remember how excited I was when I first bought my 4plex! Congrats on getting your official start, after all the hard work. And again, big props to your ambition to do what it takes to get it done. I moved to somewhere I hadn't ever considered just like you, and I'm feeling optimistic about your situation! Hopefully I'll see you at the next meetup in Oakland in Feb. Will be announcing on the last meetup posting soon.. See ya!
