Newbie from South Lake Tahoe

[April W.]

Hi All, 

I'm new to BP and a newbie real estate investor.  Have a history in a previous life of owning a few single family rentals and one 4-unit complex, but it's been awhile and while I count that as experience...it's wasn't a profitable one!  So I'm trying to learn to do things right and from what I've learned so far on the forums here, BP will be really helpful.  

I'm interested in eventually buy and holds in South Lake, but I've been looking into properties in Reno, NV as there it is a bigger town and has more properties and different possibilities for investing.  I would like to learn to do some wholesale and maybe some flipping, though rehabbing isn't high on my list of interests. 

Anybody out there in my part of the world?

Thanks @Brandon Turner and @Dmitriy Fomichenko for the tips! Will check them out. I have set up my alerts - those have already been helpful.
