I also have a meetup group each month in Oakland (meetup next Wed), if anyone wants to join that too:http://www.meetup.com/SF-Bay-Area-Real-Estate-Netw...Looking forward to seeing your first meetup Jameson!

I'll be tying the knot with my fiancé at the end of September and we plan to utilize our leftover wedding funds to invest in real estate.So no deals for me in the near future...

@Jennifer Chislett , the local meeting in NH is NHREIA.com, held in Manchester on the second Wed. 

Your title company likely has access to a list of divorce, newly wed, etc.

I'm out of town for a wedding this weekend, unfortunately, but hope that I can make a future meet-up.

We are planning for next November for the wedding!

33K in student loans, about 11k on plastic (wedding/honeymoon/school), plus houseMy experience in real estate is limited to spending time with my grandfather growing up.He had several rental houses and would always be working on them.As I grew up and paid more attention to the business side of his work I realized that he was working just to stay busy and not working to create more income.His end goal was always to create more income but he was always distracted by the job of remodeling and updating.He has been my mentor and main father figure for years but now it is time I “upgrade” to someone capable of guiding me in the direction I want to go.I will always love my grandfather but his business sense is not one I need to follow.My goals in real estate are to create a “four hour work week” (gotta love the Tim Ferriss way of life) by a combination of buy and hold and flips.I hope to use this method to create a stable business and then move into apartment complexes.After lurking on this site I have learned about the different rules needed to ensure profit out of each.In my farm area there are many MLS deals that fall into these numbers.Now it is just about raising funds.I would love to find some Sub2 deals.Famous FourFavorite real estate book Never read one.Bigger Pockets Favorite business book Poke the Box by Seth Godin, 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss, and No More Mondays by Dan Miller Hobbies include working on cars and spending time with friends and family.These are very important to me and I do not get enough time with my desk job with either.What is thing that sets apart successful investors from those that fail Getting back up on the horse after failing and not letting friends and family tell you that being an investor is a stupid idea.

I was kicking myself because I took a Saturday off to be in my friend's wedding!

My parents gave us the down payment as a wedding present.

I am moving in with my fiance following our wedding.
