One you settle in, make it out to the BP Meetups and try and soak in as much as you can from some of the really smart, local Bay Area guys/gals, that are active on this site.

A few pointers:Do as many as you can before you have kids, because having small children will absolutely kill this strategy, bless their little hearts.You are smart to buy distressed property at a discount, then put some sweat equity in to fix it up.

Smart people usually end up on their feet.

They make covers that have locks so unauthorized people can't adjust them.There are also "smart" thermostats you can control from a smartphone remotely.

I look forward to connecting with the many smart, creative, and honorable people who frequent Biggerpockets.Thanks!

Being debt averse is smart in my mind, too, but not all that popular here on BP.  

I was smart enough to befriend as many software engineers as I could though so I always had help with my computer I could never figure out!

Of course, people normally say I look at life through a colored glass. 

I feel, I deserve much more so working hard and trying to be smart to see the height of success soon).Thanks All.

These individuals are very smart people, who are working in the hi-tech industry for a very nice salary.
