I'm currently interested in East Bay (Alameda & Contra Costa) as well as Stanislaus, San Joaquin, Merced, Solano and Sacramento counties.As an absolute beginner (this is my very first post) and currently working a full-time job (unrelated to RE), my main objective is to learn different REI skills hands-on.What I bring to the table:1) Funds - possibly for 10% to 25% of down payment (widely depending on deal/rehab costs, of course)2) Hustle - evenings and weekends could be 100% dedicated to REI (finding/analyzing deals, meetups, cold calling, drafting/reviewing, whatever I can help with)I would love to learn at least one of these skills:1) Finding off-market deals2) Estimating rehab costs3) Managing contractors4) Managing tenants5) Negotiating dealsI'm hoping someday I'd be able to add value beyond funds and be part of a great REI team :)If you're interested in connecting, please let me know.Best,JC

I am an aircraft engineer and very fortunate to have quite a bit of free time with my work schedule.

This is in Contra Costa County, CA

I will be going to Aircraft Mechanic Technician training in August 2020, and the entire 2.5 years will cost $20,000 or less.

The guy getting retrained on a new aircraft and the Nuggets like you will need a home.

To give a little more background of myself, I am a corporate jet pilot and aircraft manager for our west coast operations, and I am also a certified aircraft mechanic.

Are you stationed on the aircraft carrier on Tempe lake or the submarine at Scottsdale waterfront? 

There's also more small multifamily in Richmond than the rest of Contra Costa County combined.

Vs the contra to that, they get mad and say "now you can evict me".

Due to my profession as an aircraft mechanic, I consider myself "handy" and able to quickly learn how to utilize various tools and techniques for repairs and maintenance.
