Good Morning Everyone,@Richard C.

Good morning!

Good morning, I am looking to build relationships and meet experienced people I can learn from in the Santa Cruz area/Bay Area, California.

I was jumping on to BP this morning to ask the same question for the same market.

The next morning water was gushing out from the connection and his entire hallway is flooded with water.He's in the process of communicating with the PM to try it get it fixed.Now the heart of the problem is, regardless of whether the PM can actually get someone in to fix the problem, the place is not entirely habitable as the carpets are all soaking wet.

I'll get right on them first thing Monday or Tuesday morning. 

@John HodsonI know that you are anxious to make your first investment, but you should slow down a little and start learning and building relationships.

OK....so it's been a while BP...but here's the update...Mistake#1: Going to open house...falling in love with a property (due to anxiousness).Mistake#2: Starting the purchase process without consulting a buyers agent.

Spending the morning on the phone saved us a lot of time at court.And today was a better day.So I have that going for me.
