@Adam Kim is interested in joining our meetup as well!

Hi Everyone! Just to echo what @Joshua Davies posted, it will be nice if we can have a local meet up with Bigger Pockets members. It will be nice to meet everyone who is local around here!

@Joshua Davies thanks for posting this up. This is exciting. I'm going to reach out to some of real estate investors who are not part of the Bigger Pockets community to see if they are interested in joining.

@Todd Olivas

@Todd Olivas Hi Todd! Looking forward to connect with you in the near future!

@Jo-Ann Lapin thanks! Yes, I plan on attending the NOCREI Meeting in Anaheim. First time attending such meet, not sure what I will be expecting but will great opportunity to network with other local investors.

@Joshua Davies Hi Joshua. Thanks for reaching out.  Most definitely. I'll send you a message so we can connect.

Any investors who are from Brea/Yorba Linda area and interested in grabbing a coffee and connecting to talk about real estate investing?

@Jackson Wu

Good idea on dropping the wife and kid at 3rd street. I think I can do the same over here and they won't have a problem with it - they might even thank me. I'll like to attend one of Jeff's meetup one day as well. How's the syndicated deals in bay area? It appears they have a very strong market and demand.

Let's connect when you have the time - over the phone, for coffee, or for lunch.

@Nemo Patel Understand and agree where you are coming from. I think after you get a chance to research what it is and how it can help grow your portfolio investment, you will be interested. Let me know if you have any questions

@Nemo Patel

Hi Nemo. I'm in a very similar situation like yours as I live in Orange County and quickly realize that a lot of cash/equity is required to have even any type of reasonable monthly cash flow for SFR. I do have 2 SFR in the Inland Empire, but I got those ~6 years ago when prices were still low. Still, I believe I could have done better when cash flow is the goal.

Have you considered investing passively on syndicated deals? 

@Jackson Wu

Hi Jackson. I really like your post and response about upfront capital required in the SGV. Great advice on educating yourself and finding a mentor. There's tons of information on BP. To this point, do you have any experience/recommendations on how new investors can find and connect with mentors who have the same/similar alignment?

@Ruben Guerrero

I'm curious regarding the criminal and credit check. I'm assuming the syndicator needs to provide its SSN for investors to perform their check. How comfortable is the syndicator when it comes to providing their SSN to investors?
