 Hey Jim:

Don't mean to hijack Carrie's post but I was hoping we could also connect.  I am in Southern California and getting lots of calls that I could use advise on from ads that I've placed online.

Hey Brandon, I am a newbie REI in Victorville.

Looking forward to running into you at a meetup one day soon!

New Southern California member here (Victorville, San Bernardino Co.).  Looking forward to that meetup Robin!  Please keep me posted.

Hi Andrew and everyone else.

I'm new here too, from Southern California (San Bernardino County) and also closed on my first house in September.

Looking forward to connecting with other budding investors in my area!

Hello Everyone!

My name is Lisa Tolan and I am just getting starting in real estate investing.

It's always been something I have been interested in, so my husband and I recently attended a Flipping Formula 3-day program. I wouldn't say it was a total waste, I did learn a lot, but their implication (aka upsell) is that you need to take it to the next level with another course for an ASTRONOMICAL fee. They give you a lot of info in the 3-day program, but it's JUST enough to leave you wanting more. We're both smart and not afraid of the hard work it's going to take to reach our goals, so here I am!

For starters, have purchased some bandit signs, mailed some yellow letters out to pre-foreclosures and properties that we found "driving for dollars," and placed ads online. So far, the only responses we have received are from our online ads from people looking to lease with option to purchase.

I'm open to trying any part of real estate investing .... wholesaling, flipping, cash flow properties, etc. I know I will learn just as much or more here than I would shelling out my yearly salary for a course. I am also looking forward to networking, learning and securing my future through real estate :-)
