Thomas S. has pointed out California investors enjoy some unique tax benefits... knowledge is the key.Just my personal opinion: ALL investments without knowledge is speculation...

My investments will probably not appreciate as much as theirs have, but I don't have to wait until I'm old to enjoy the benefits.  

The ultimatel goal is build funds through fix n flips (open to wholesaling too) to acquire mid level multis (10-50 unit properties)Beyond the normal "how do i _____" which likely has been answered multiple times over here on BP the biggest question I have is how do I get my wife more involved, engaged, and an integral part of this new endeavor?

I've enjoyed this conversation. 

Who is assuming the risk in this endeavor, and what is that worth.

Enjoy the learning curve as I can see you are passionate about investing.  

Enjoy the site. 

However, with the long slower season after 4/15 I am excited to devote more of my time to research, networking, and educating, while hunting for new investments.My Goal this year is to close on another single family rental either in the Northern CA area or in the Las Vegas area.I joined BP after listening to a few podcasts and diving into the forums.I am psyched to be here and looking forward to the steep learning curve that comes with every new endeavor!

I enjoy meeting local investors!

I'm enjoying this community!
