Hey everyone, my name is Jason Blue from Agoura Hills, CA which is on an outer edge of Los Angeles County. I am new to Bigger Pockets and REI in general. I am absolutely blown by this site and the massive wealth of information here. I realized very quickly that I would have to watch it with downloading all the E books and listening to every single podcast. I know that education is ongoing and never ending, but the amount found on BP is nothing short of amazing. I sort of imagine it to a dish sponge standing in front of a firehose! HA! I am grateful to have found this place.

A little about me, I have spent the last four years working for a national multi-family REIT company. I have recently also been working part time for a vacant land wholesaler, which I love and am working towards being able to allocate more time into this area. My goal is to start my own REI company with focuses in wholesale, residential rentals, and continuous learning. Looking forward to many connections and opportunities to grow and provide.

Sempre Gumby!

    Welcome. I grew up out near your side in Calabasas. What kind of work were you doing with the REIT?

    Welcome to BP.  You are right on in your assessment of this great site.  I, myself and many other here feel fortunate to have to stumble across such a great community of people and site that offer so much great content on real estate investing in one convenient place.  Good luck here and going forward.

    Hello @Manolo D.!

    I've lived in Valencia/ Santa Clarita/ Stevenson Ranch for a few years. Really love it up there. I'm a big fan of mountain views.

    @Jason Blue

    Hi and welcome to BiggerPockets! It’s a great place to learn more about investing and meet the people you want to meet. If you haven't yet, be sure to check out the The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing and don't forget to set up your Keyword Alerts!

    @Sarah Harris I grew up mostly in the San Fernando Valley, 6 years in Woodland Hills, but that is a long time ago, and things have changed vastly.   I live in Oregon now.

    Hi @Larry Fried. Thanks for the welcome. I really appreciate the overall relationship building theme of Bigger Pockets. It's very reassuring. I am almost finished with The Ultimate Guide, and I did setup some keywords, however I may need some tips on getting the right ones in there. I now have more alerts than I can handle in just a few hours, HAHA!

    Hey @Quan Carpenter, thanks for the welcome! Yes, the few podcasts I've heard have been great too. I really like Brandon's energy and style, it keeps my attention going. I have been giving much consideration to paying for an REI course from a guy that a few people I know have had some success with. However with BP I am really feeling like I may not need to make that investment at this point and just put that money to better use.

    Hey thanks @Sebastia H., that has actually crossed my mind too. One would assume LA has got to be overrun with investors of all types by now. But hey, I've been listening to aa lot of Jack Canfield lately so just going to have to "lean into it!'

    @Larry Fried very cool. I'm about to go to Portland for my first time at the end of the month.

    @Sarah Harris

     Portland is a great city.  I particularly love their extensive public transit, its a lot like San Francisco now with its street cars, and sky tram, and buses.

    I am down south in the much quieter, much smaller city of Eugene, home of University of Oregon and the Ducks.
