Hello EveryoneMy name is Adam and I am new to real estate investing, having started listening to the BP podcasts as well as reading some books over the past few months.

@Patrick UlmerIf you're eyeing real estate to boost your wealth, start with these steps: Dive into learning (read, listen), set clear aims (do you want steady cash, value growth, or both?)

He and his team have a number of doors in Scranton over the past few years.Also, listen to @Shawn Mcenteer above.

I found the property on the MLS that was on the market for 45 days + only because nobody took the time to analyze the potential and no one was willing to listen to what the seller needed.

I'm specifically looking for someone well versed in San Francisco laws as there have been numerous intricacies over the years.

I offered to have all the suspect insulation removed and proceeded to do so but the buyer backed out anyway, spooked by the word "asbestos" which isn't even a health threat unless it's disturbed and it was in the crawl space, not a livable area of the home.Next contract, the inspector brought the code book and proceeded to list numerous nit-picky issues that were totally different (apparently missed?)

Most likely inappropriate, but NUMEROUS.

I'm worried I won't be able to take out a loan amount that's big enough to purchase another home in LA/OC if I already have a 700k loan...I know that the home prices in LA/OC are outrageous, but I've heard numerous times that I should invest in areas where I live close by.

My name is Nihoa, I am a college student in Southern Utah and I have been listening to the bigger pockets podcast for a year on and off.

First post, been reading and listening for years now.
