I'm very excited to introduce myself to the Bigger Pockets community.My name is Pete Stevenson and my wife and I recently moved to Boise, Idaho after completing a 16-month road trip from Seattle, WA to the tip of South America.As we settle into our new lives in the USA, we are in the learning phase of real estate investment, soaking up as much new information as possible and preparing for our first deal.

Right now, we are focusing on soaking up as much information as possible.

I’ve listened to a few audio books on investing and real estate and I’m trying to soak up as much information as possible and basically just looking for a little guidance on how to get started

Anyway, glad to be here and I look forward to meeting some like-minded people and soaking up as much information as I possibly can.

I’m from Louisville and make it down to Miami at least once a year from Minneapolis.Listen to as many podcasts as you can and soak up all the info on here!

It was clear we were selling it to him.. or her.. but they still have that deep seeded renter mentality.you have to remember us here on BP are versed in RE and to us what seems easy and logical to many who are clueless about how transactions work .. have no clue to the vocabulary etc.. it can happen.Again I think this 97.78 % is a tenant just squatting based on feedback but you never know. 

I am trying to soak up knowledge and Your critical comments are annoying.

Tax the seeds and not the crops.

Thank you in advance for all the information I'm about to soak up!

I can't figure out how anyone makes money in rentals in the Bay Area so we will likely look to invest in markets that are long distance from where we currently live, but in areas we could see ourselves living in one day in the future: Southern California (North County, San Diego), Oregon, and Louisiana.Looking forward to soak up as much I can and meeting the many fine folks on these forums as well as finding areas I can help others out (I build websites for a living).Cheers!
