Newbie from Bay Area-Looking to wholesale on the peninsula

Real Estate Investor · Peninsula/Bay Area, CA · Member since 2014 · 13 posts · 6 votes

Hello! My name is Marianne, I'm new to BP,  together, my business partner and have bought and done major remodels on 3 homes. We are currently seeking short-term residential investing and wholesaling opportunities in San Mateo County/Bay Area with SFRs, duplexes and triplexes.

@AngieJones, my business partner, turned me on to BP. I started out by listening to podcasts, and have tried to research and get up to speed on as much as possible on the BP website. I'm truly impressed by this community and look forward to making connections here.

@Marianne Jett ,

Welcome to BP! Glad your business partner introduced you!!

There is a wealth of information on the site, and among all the local investors in the Bay Area. There are also some good meetups. (check signatures). You might want to check out Joe Metz' group in Fremont, and @Johnson H. 's meetup in San Jose.

I invest in fix and hold properties up in the East Bay, but a lot of people are doing well on the peninsula too! Welcome, and good luck Marianne!

    @Marianne Jett  Welcome to the community! Now get active. Ask questions, read blogs, and I always suggest a podast marathon. It is the best free education you will find. Good luck!

    Marianne,

    Welcome to Biggerpockets. It's really tough being a wholesaler in our area IMO since the market is so liquid. If you find any apartment deals in SJ, please let me know. Good luck with your new wholesaling endeavor.
