Yes that would be great!  I'm still figuring out this sight, so i will PM you once i figure it out...lol  Really though i want to educate myself a little bit more too before i dive in, and really am digging this community here at BP. 

@Jeff Pollack

couldn't agree with you more Jeff!  So i've decided while i'm still single, and no kids, and can work these long hours for some good pay, i might as well put it to good use and setup my future.  Schedules permitting that sounds great!  I will PM in the near future, and thank you!

Well hopefully that is a good thing you are busy, the offer is always there.  I'm not married and no children which is why i am considering the live in multi, but not sure i can find one around tri valley pleasanton/dublin where i currently reside.

Unfortunately i will be working that day until 9pm, but would love more information if there are other meet ups, yes and free is always good!  thank you for your time

@Mark Nolan

Thank you i will definately need to do more research with messaging.  i've got the podcasts going, and will spend most of my spare time playing around the forums.  I'm new to forums, this is my first experience, so kind of trial by fire.  thanks again hope to see you around the forums.

@Paul Timmins

Thank you very much that is some great advice! I am definately going to be researching my local REIA groups. Thank you very much for the books, i will add them to my list, i have quite a few to get through, but can't wait! I do like the idea of small multi's, and will definately do some more research on HUD homes. I really appreciate your time, and hope to see you around the forums!

thank you!  @Dmitriy Fomichenko

Hi ALL!!

My name is Bryan Nunes, I currently reside in Dublin, CA and work in San Jose, CA in the bay area.  Firstly, i wanted to give a shout out to Josh Dorkin and Brandon Taylor, i wouldn't be here if i did not stumble upon your podcast through my initial google searching about real estate investing, since then i have listened to the first 25 podcast episodes, and am listening to a new one everyday (in my 1 hour commute), and you both have inspired me and lit a fire to go after my dreams of being a real estate investor.  That brought me here, a little about myself:  I bought my first property in 2004 at the age of 24 in The Ranch on Silver Creek in San Jose CA.  new home, paid 800k, got sold on an "option-arm" through washington mutual, watched the house appreciate to 1.2mil in 2006 thinking wow this is awesome!  long story short, being 24 and dumb i took out a heloc, and bought toys i shouldn't have, in 2008 market crashed and house was upside down 300k.  Learned a very valuable lesson i will never soon repeat.    I've since purchased another home in Dublin, CA also new construction in may 2013.  The right way this time, got a 1st phase cancelation, and now after listening to bigger pockets i'm considering renting/selling the property (has over 200k equity) and possibly purchasing a multi-family and living in one of the units like a lot of people i've listened to have done. 

My goal is to one day retire early replacing my w-2 income of 25k per month with real estate, since i have not the best quality of life even though the money is great (80hr+ work weeks).  I'm looking outside Bay Area as far as sacramento area down to gilroy for buy and hold properties, even considering out of state the more i listen to BP podcasts, although i have zero experience at the moment.  I look forward to networking here and meeting fellow investors and to get started working on deals ASAP!!  Any mentors around the Bay Area would like to get together, coffee/drinks/lunch is on me!    You will be definately seeing more of me.
