Hello Everyone, 

My name is Victoria. I am from Union City, CA. I am new to Bigger Pockets and am here to learn more about investing in Real Estate. I have owned a home before. I purchased my first home in 2010 and recently sold the property. I am now looking for my next purchase and hoping to learn specifically about flipping homes or purchasing a rental property. I do come from a design and construction background so I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. But when it comes to type financing a flip, that is where I can use some advice. I look forward to connecting with fellow members of my community! 

Kind Regards, 

Victoria

Hi Victoria, BP is a great community. I am very new to REI, but like you, I am also constantly getting educated and feel that it is so important, especially to minimize risk. I live in honolulu so my backyard is not good for newbie investors so I did my research for about a year and started buying turnkey properties in Indianapolis. I have aligned myself with a good team there and loving the monthly cash flow.

Aloha Sylvia, 

 I am glad to be able to connect with you here on BP. How lucky are you to be living in Hawaii! I have friends that live in Kaneohe and plan to move there in the next year =) I just started the process of becoming a web developer and will be finished with my program in the next 12 weeks. My goal is to land a remote gig which would allow my husband and myself the opportunity to live and work in Hawaii. I have also been considering buying my first turnkey property in Indianapolis but dont know where you start. Would you be open to share the process with me?

Victoria Elazigue welcome to the site! Indianapolis provides a great area to invest as long as you have a phenomenal team to work with there. I'd be happy to share the contact we work with and have been very happy with if you need assistance.
