Welcome Gerry! I grew up in the valley there, have a lot of family there and miss it. Do yourself a HUGE favor and go snag the podcasts. I like listening to them, and it beats listening to the news or other nonsense that just gets us pissed off. You will really learn a lot.
And to suck up to Brandon Turner and Joshua Dorkin just a tad, they keep it light and just the right amount of humurous- all while extracting tons of great info from their guests.

Hey @Gerry Medina thanks for jumping in and introducing yourself! If you haven't yet- be sure to setup some "Keyword Alerts" to get into conversation in your target area.
Welcome fellow Bigger Pockets member! This is a great forum and I am sure it will help you learn many facets of the real estate investment world. I purchased my first investment property over 40 years ago and only wish that I had a resource like BP community when I got started! So you are in a good company.
Some say that your net-worth equals your network, and this is the place to make right connections. You should also find investors locally and network with them face-to-face. Find people close to you using MEET feature. Also, look for investor meetings on Meetup.

@stan hill yes i love the inland valley area ive lived in Ontario most of my life its been awsome but hopefully soon i can have the income and the freedom that comes with making good income and having systems that will allow my business to produce without me being physically present . I started listening to the podcasts i try to listen to one daily i cant stress on how beneficial bit is to liaten to possitive people who are successful in your industry and who are in a position where you want to be. My mother used to say this and its engraved in my heart and mind . "You are or will become who you surround yourself with" i believe that is so true because of my owm experiences . Anyways thank you all for your kindness and willingness to to give and share your knowledge which is of so much value to new investors.
