New Santa Cruz Investor

Aptos, CA · Member since 2019 · 2 posts · 8 votes

Hi everyone! My name is Robby and I am a new investor in Santa Cruz, CA. I am a full-time paramedic, and I am looking to start investing in real estate to start making income outside of work as I realize that I won't be able to work as a paramedic for forever. I am brand new to real estate and stumbled across this site from real estate book, and just browsing the forums on BiggerPockets, it looks like this site is going to be a great resource. I look forward to connecting with people and learning more!

Quote from @Sage Pelot:

Hello Santa Cruz area friends. Besides buying our house in Soquel in 2019, and house hacking our ADU, I am new to real estate investing. My tentative strategy is to BRRRR, STR and self manage within a 2 to 4 hr drive from santa cruz. I'd like to have about 7 to 10 properties in seven years that cash flow well enough to replace my firefighter income. I would be interested in partnering with people in the future who want to employ a similar strategy. Right now I am researching Fresno, Clovis, Oakhurst, Grass Valley, Oakland, Vallejo areas. I am devouring podcasts, making contacts and trying very hard to ignore any shiny objects that distract me from my strategy. I would be very interested in a local meet up. - Sage

Hi Sage - We have two LTR out-of-state and are looking to continue to invest in-state or out-of-state. It is always good to build on our network and look forward to connecting with other like minded investors.

It's not an airbnb, it's a long term rental. It's in the historic Glen Echo ravine neighborhood in Clintonville / North Columbus
