Quote from @Matthew Espana: Hi, I am interested in connecting with anyone who has midterm rentals in the Bakersfield area.

I'd be happy to connect. 

I am reading a bunch of real estate investing books , talking to realtors & loan officers, and trying to educate myself best I can.I'm also looking to expand my network within the real estate investing community, and I believe this is a great opportunity to connect.

I plan to manage the properties myself until it conflicts with my regular job.I would appreciate any advice on these markets to ensure success and connect with local investors.    

There is a great group of members on here to connect with.

Connecting with investors is a great move too; it’s one of the best ways to gain real-world knowledge and build a strong foundation for your journey.What kind of investing are you most interested in? 

I don't understand this topic very well so looking for a connection to a good real estate focused CPA to help with my filing.LLC does not change your taxes, and it's even possible that cost segregation does not.

There is a great group of members on here to connect with.

Looking forward to connecting!

We have a member round table discussion on Fridays at 9 am cst.And we have a calendar of events with events from area landlord groups and member meetups.While we are still on zoom we do try to find ways to still be able to connect and talk with each other so our events are not all just another webinar with people talking at you.Hope to connect.
