The New Guy in San Francisco Bay Area (Solano County)

Mark Pananganan
  • Fairfield, CA
Posted

Hi all,

I'm the new guy in the Bay Area!  Well, not really new since I've lived here for over 40 years. I've been lurking on BP for the last year and thought that I'd make my official introduction as well as go Pro. I've also gleaned knowledge from the Flipping Junkie, EPIC Real Estate, and BP podcasts. 

I'm currently a Telecommunications Engineer working in IT for the last 18 years, but can't see myself doing it another twenty. 28+ years in customer service, so helping folks is in my blood. I did a couple of successful house hacks two decades ago on my primary residences and I'm back to make a real go at it working towards being a full time RE investor. 

I look forward to learning from you all and sharing my failures and triumphs. My target market is Solano County for fix and flips, specifically Fairfield, Vallejo, Suisun City, and American Canyon. After I build up some capital, I hope to buy and hold in Sacramento and an out-of-state market, possibly Las Vegas. 

If you're in the Bay Area, reach out. Let's have coffee!

    Mark Pananganan flip all the properties you can to generate capital but try to buy rental that cashflow or you are going to be in the perpetual JOB and paying a big chunk to taxes.
