Eric here, newbie, ready to soak up all the knowledge and start investing in real estate.  Real estate has always been an interest of mine and now my wife and I are ready to take this interest to the next level.  Any other investors in the San Francisco Area?  Any one have information on meetups and other types of networking events in the area?

Welcome to the community! Happy to have you here! Please keep us posted on your progress! @Eric Ticas

Hello Everyone!

No I'm not new to biggerpockets my account has been on here for about 6 years now. However, I still have not utilize everything this platform has to offer there is some much value here! My Name is Brandon Dukes and I have been in real estate since 2019. Currently I'm just wholesaling everything from SFH, land , apartments, and condos. My main market is Maryland, DC and some parts of Virginia. I like working with agents and matter of fact I can offer a buy price service to agent where before they go on their listing appointments I can give them a buy price and contract they can have in their back pocket.


 Hi Brandon, thanks for the re-introduction! I hope you have a great 2024 year in real estate!

Picture this: After weeks of negotiations and planning, all parties involved finally reach an agreement on the terms and conditions of the sale. With excitement in the air, they gather around the table to sign the final documents that will officially seal the deal. As pens meet paper, the transfer of ownership begins, marking the start of a new chapter for both us and seller. Yes, today is the closing day!

 Congrats! @Brandon Spaulding

Hey All!

I have my eye on a property I want to buy but I just found out it is owned by Fannie Mae. What are the steps I'd need to go through to purchase this property? Is it possible?

@Andrew Postell , do you possibly have any insights about this?

I wanted to use the free "rehab estimate sheet" but it prints out with an extremely small font and gray instead of black. Can someone from San Antonio, Texas be so kind as to share with me a legible one, please? I would appreciate it!

@Tomas Ochoa , I believe you are in the SA area? Could you possibly give some insights?

At 19 years old I am thrilled to have the opportunity to buy my first investment property. Being a first time home buyer and owner occupant I was able to put 5% down on a house hack property. This home is in a great neighborhood that is right next to a elementary school, park, The Cubs spring training facility, and a huge shopping center! First one is under the belt and can't wait to expand and get as many properties as possible!


Congrats, Nicholas! This is so awesome! I'm proud of you, and keep us posted on your journey! 


 Thank you Lawrence, this means a lot!

You're welcome! If you have not read it yet, I would recommend the book “First to a Million" by BiggerPockets author - @Dan Sheeks
