I used to surf in Santa Cruz, CA.

Those tgat give up on probate, or real estate in general, will also give up on every other activity, except perhaps the couch, channel surfing or social media.If there's enough interest, I'll do a presentation on organizing data.

Networking with local pros with knowledge of the market, access to MLS data, and resources for finding the great off-market deals in advance is a great step forward for the longer-term hold investor that wants the best bang for their buck.The competition here is pretty stiff, especially if you're surfing the MLS looking for leads.

While surfing, I came across this site and I registered to understand more about real estate investment.

So the past couple days I have been surfing the web and MLSs trying to find land that would best fit him.

In other words, it's a good idea to learn to swim before trying to surf a 50-foot wave.Good luck out there!

@Melanie Collins if you're a beginner, starting with a large multi fam or multiple single fams all at once is a bit like trying to surf a 50 foot wave before you know how to swim.  

I love using my free time to be outdoors with friends and family, surfing and fishing.

I missed the past month's meetup in Surf City but normally I'm always there too.
