Have you read "The Book On Flipping Houses" by J Scott? He's essentially got exactly what you're looking for in that.

Robert Rayford Right now I'm looking around walnut creek, concord, pleasant hill area. Keeping a small radius for now since I plan to occupy my first deal.

Hey everyone,

I'm brand new to this whole real estate thing and hoping to network with anyone else in the area.

Personally, I'm interested in flipping but anyone and everyone is welcome.

Absolutely no expectations except to have some coffe and hang out. 

Looking to get into flipping in the bay area. Any recommendations for investor friendly inspectors, GC's, appraisers, etc?

Kenneth Reimer thanks for the advice, I actually looked into that but it's run by a big property management company that won't reveal the owners. It's a huge complex so I'm sure it's some big company. My goal is to find a house to flip to myself by the end of the year. Figured it's as good a way as any to start the journey.

Thank you to everyone for the welcomes and the great info/recommendations. 

Thanks you guys. I'll definitely do that.

Hi everyone.

Im in the East Bay here in Cali and ever since I learned how real estate works I feel like an idiot paying 3k per month in rent for a small apartment...

My first intro to the real estate world and actually how I heard of BP was when I read The Book on Flipping Houses by J Scott. If you see this, thank you J. It honestly changed my life. Before that book I had absolutely no clue as to how real estate worked and completely believed it was something I could never do. 

Then I read The Book on Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner. Thank you also Brandon. That book plus The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down made me realize that even though I don't have a lot of money to put down on anything, there are still ways to make it happen.

Anyway I'm super excited to finally be on the forums. I'm here to be a sponge while also making my start and hopefully making my first purchase this year. 

Hope to get to know you all and I'll be looking for a meet in the area.

Thank you BP
