Hi Everyone,

I'm Don Smith and I live in thousand oaks , California. I have been on bigger pockets for about 3 weeks and I am finally sitting down to write an introduction. I have been watching the podcasts and reading some of the blogs. I am blown away by all the people here that want to help others. I attended a seminar about a month ago and learned that with a 30,000 dollar investment I could learn how to flip houses. I am so glad I found this site and the people on it.

I want to learn as much as possible in the next three months. My goal for 2016 is to flip 3 houses while still working my full time Job(I'm a salesman for a dairy company). My goal for 2017 is to flip 6 homes without my full time job.

Please say hi and any tips that you can give in how to get started would be great!!

    Welcome! You can get started by exploring the site. Read all the free information that you can. The public library is also a great source. At a min I would download the podcasts, you will learn a lot from them.
