First Eagle

When you go to Las Vegas, the very highest mountain just before you get to Las Vegas has a  large lake, about 500 x 500 feet where miners dug down about 300 feet into the ground for gold or silver and then underground water filled the hole to about 9 feet deep with fresh water that constantly flows through the lake.

@Ed Otero @Matt Giacinto If you are not too far from Eagle Rock, we have a meetup this Wednesday at 6pm @Oinkster.

I assist several local fix and flip investors who operate across LA including Eagle Rock, Silver Lake, and SFV.

I got introduced to real estate through a long-time mentor that I met through boy scouts (I am an Eagle scout).

Journeys End and Silver LakeH.  

The silver lining was I got bk discharged in 2006 and was scared of debt.  

Quote from @Jon Silver: I recommend you read some books on raising private capital before you spend any time, effort, or money on setting up a company.

I had my tenant in Silver Spring call and complain about their heating costs in January.
