Hi,

I'm an aspiring RE investor based in Berkeley, CA. I'm currently interested in East Bay (Alameda & Contra Costa) as well as Stanislaus, San Joaquin, Merced, Solano and Sacramento counties.

As an absolute beginner (this is my very first post) and currently working a full-time job (unrelated to RE), my main objective is to learn different REI skills hands-on.

What I bring to the table:
1) Funds - possibly for 10% to 25% of down payment (widely depending on deal/rehab costs, of course)
2) Hustle - evenings and weekends could be 100% dedicated to REI (finding/analyzing deals, meetups, cold calling, drafting/reviewing, whatever I can help with)

I would love to learn at least one of these skills:
1) Finding off-market deals
2) Estimating rehab costs
3) Managing contractors
4) Managing tenants
5) Negotiating deals

I'm hoping someday I'd be able to add value beyond funds and be part of a great REI team :)

If you're interested in connecting, please let me know.

Best,
JC
