My name is Mathew and I am excited to find biggerpockets.com! I currently do not have much experience in real estate investing other than getting lucky on amazing appreciation value of the homes I have bought as primary residences in or near San Diego. I am planning to start actively investing and developing my portfolio of rental units and flipping units along the way either on my own or with the help of a partner or two.

I think I stumbled across biggerpockets.com while researching the flipping vegas education seminar.

    Thanks George! I have been listening to the podcasts on my commute to work each morning. Unfortunately, my commute is only 45 minutes so I am left in suspense on the 15 minutes until my drive home. Maybe I should drive slower in the morning?
