@Scott Slocum welcome! This community is great! I am new as well but I am learning fast by spending time reading the forums and the blogs. I suggest you do the same. Also when you are driving you can listen to the podcasts they will definitely motivate you tremendously. Good luck!

Thank you.  I too am in southern California.  Are you the guy to ask questions about using my 401k to help with my down for my first deal? Or is that covered in on of the forums already?  Again thanks for the welcome.
