My name is Sang Ko and I am a new BP member from Fremont, CA. I got started in real estate when I purchased my first house by using money from my 401k as down payment. A couple years later after reading "The Automatic Millionaire" by David Bach I discovered that I could do a cash out refinance and use those proceeds to purchase another property. I currently own 2 properties (1 primary residence, 1 income) and I am in the process of doing another cash out refinance to use those proceeds to purchase another income property. I've been binge listening to the Bigger pockets podcast for the last couple of week's and decided to finally join the community. I want to learn more about Real Estate Investing especially the buy and hold strategy so I can generate passive income while working my regular 9-5 office job. I am also looking to connect with like minded people in the area as well as seasoned investors so I can pick their brain and learn from their experiences.
