Newbie in Sacramento, CA

[Mel Adams]

What's up! My name is Mel, and as the title says, I'm a newbie investor living in Sacramento looking to purchase her first door. I work full time, love to be outdoors, try out new breweries, and spend time with my pup. I'm still in the education phase, but I decided I'm going invest out of state using the BRRRR method. I've honed in on the midwest and am looking at the KC market. I'm starting to think about building my out of state team, and would love to connect with any of you on what you look for in specific team members or red flags you've experienced.

I'm excited to learn from this group and begin contributing once I get some more experience under my belt. Looking forward to connecting!

@Mel Adams Hey Mel, I invest in Columbus OH and I live in Elk Grove CA. My girlfriend and I bought our first single-family rental together with conventional financing but now hope to BRRRR some more properties.

I would read or listen to Long-Distance Real Estate Investing and Buy Rehab Rent Refinance Repeat, both by David Greene and published by BiggerPockets. Great books. 

There has been a meetup the last few months in Folsom at Out of Bounds brewery on the 3rd or 4th Tuesday. I don't know if it will happen this month but it probably will so look for it in the Real Estate Marketplace --> Real Estate Events and Happenings sub-forum. There is also a real estate meetup in West Sacramento every month. I think it is transitioning from Zoom to in-person or could be maintaining Zoom and re-opening in person as well. You could check with Sergey Tkachev as he facilitates them. 

Welcome!
