Thanks Kevin I'm planning on going to that meetup! I have heard of FHA but I haven't heard of USDA yet. I will look into that. Thanks for the message!

thanks for your suggestions michael! I'm not a fan of wattsonville but may consider it for the future. I like scotts valley but I know there's probably much less opportunity there. I'm also interested in monterey but know it's not too affordable. The idea of building a multi family sounds intriguing but not sure if my dad would take that on.

Hey Im new to BP, and from Scotts Valley. Im interested in learning more about real estate specific to this area. Id love to hear some of the experiences you guys have had. Hopefully I will see you at the meetup!

Hi everyone,

Im currently living with family in Scotts Valley CA while going to school studying business, and working part time at Wells Fargo as a Personal Banker. Im interested in getting started in real estate investing to make a passive income and also to possibly quit my day job within 5-10 years. I would like my first home to be a multi family home that I can live in while also being a landlord and learning about real estate investing. I currently have good knowledge of personal finance, good credit and a small amount of savings, also my dad is a general contractor that is known in our area for doing honest quality work. I also have a friend who is a live in landlord but not currently investing in real estate. My concerns with getting started are that I'm only 21 years old, I have little cash available and don't currently know any local real estate investors. I do appreciate the wealth of knowledge I have already found here on BP though. Any advice would be appreciated and I hope to meet more people on the site!
