Hello everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself. 

I'm real estate agent wanting learn more about real estate investing. 

I look forward to meeting like minded individuals and learning as I go. 

Thank you and have a great day :)

Hey @Eldren Laranas it's great to have you here, make sure you checkout keyword alerts.

Hi @Dave Visaya thank you sir. However I'm still new to this forum, may you please explain to me what are "keyword alerts" when you get a chance. Thanks.

Hi Eldren, 

Welcome. I'm an investor/broker here in Colton. I sent you a colleague request. Lets connect and chat about the local market.

Hey @Eldren Laranas welcome to the site! You are coming to the right place to dip your feet and then jump fully in! Real estate is a great vehicle for real estate investing as it sounds like you know, so I would for sure pick everyone's brain on this site. At least as much as you can! Also, get some first hand experience from working with some investors if you can! 

Hello @David M. I apologize for the very late reply back. I had some personal things I had to attend to which made it challenging for me to keep up with Bigger Pockets. Thank you for reaching out to me. I appreciate it. Connecting with you and chat about the local market is an awesome idea. Lets meet up next week. I'm available on Tuesday and Thursday starting in the afternoon.

Hello @Peter Mckernan I apologize for the very late response. As stated on my previous post, I had some personal things I had to attend to which made it challenging for me to keep up with Bigger Pockets. Thank you for reaching out to me. I appreciate the advice. Thank you and have a great day.

Hi Eldren! Welcome to BP! As it looks like you're in SoCal, where I am sure the market is hot just like the weather. If you're ever up in the Central Valley area then let's network. Much success as you move forward!

Hey @Andrew L. thank you for letting me know. I'll definitely reach out to you if I go towards Central Valley Area. Much success to you as well sir. 

Welcome @Eldren Laranas what type of properties are you investing in? Have you been able to land on a location?...is there in-state affordability close by?  

Best of luck
