 I'm looking forward to those, I haven't read any yet but I know I've got a lot to catch up on. Thanks! 

 Thanks @Michael M.! Both great reads! Do you have some more book suggestion(s) for me? 

 Thanks  @Ned Carey I agree and that's actually something I think about too, and I know you're so right. In fact, something I want to avoid is working constantly like my dad and never having any time to spend my money or invest more time in myself and fam. 

Thanks @Paul Aguilar! Yes we do remodels and Reno’s. He was licensed but not anymore.

Hi@Shani Levi my girlfriend and I live in the are and are looking to learn and meet local likeminded people as well. We're listening to the podcasts and reading Unscripted by MJ DeMarco and The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy right now. We'd love to hear more about your progress in the last year! Best of luck. -Marco and Arielle

Yes, I'm renting an apartment here. My mom lives in thousand oaks where I mostly grew up, and my dad in Simi Valley. I've rented around most of these cities. Are you local? Thanks for asking 

Hi BP community! I am Marco and my girlfriend Arielle and I are new here. I live in Camarillo and have been listening to the podcasts and reading more books, currently Unscripted by MJ Demarco and The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy from @Brandon Turner's podcast rec. Thanks! I work with my dad as a contractor doing remodels all the time, and the irony is he never has time for his own home! He had three properties in Vegas which he let go in 08 and never wanted to reinvest since. I have been renting for a decade now and can't wait to make a first purchase with my girlfriend. We're looking for something we can fixup, househack, you know get our foot in the door. I'm hopeful with our combined savings and possibly her dad or other private lenders, and my construction skills and time, we can start to lay the right foundation for our future. Looking forward to connecting with local likeminded people, learning a lot and sharing as much as we can. Thank you for reading!

Much love, 

Marco and Arielle
