Welcome Ruth . There are a lot of super helpful people and great advice on this site! I'm a "fix and hold" investor from the Bay Area in CA, and loving it! A lot of others doing flips, wholesaling, notes, everything.. A few tips..

You can tag people by typing @ before you type their name, then clicking their name when it pops up at the bottom of the message box. You can click on the "vote" button if you like someone's post or is helpful, and there are "awards" to earn on your profile. The "Learn" link across the top navigation bar has lots of great info, and most importantly, the BP members! Welcome to BP, and good luck on your investments!

Hello John. You came to the right place! I’m a buy/fix and hold investor in the Bay in CA. But you’ll find a variety of all strategies here on the website. A few tips on the website and on meeting some fellow investors:

Search for local meetups here or google a local REI club to network with other investors. On the site, the "Learn" link across the top navigation bar has lots of great info, and so do the forums. You can tag people by typing @ before you type their name, then clicking their name when it pops up at the bottom of the message box. You can click on the ‘vote' button if you like someone's post or is helpful, and there are ‘awards' to earn on your profile. Good luck on everything!

Thanks for being the first onboard @Brian Burke , and looking forward to talking more MF with you..

Hi @Adam Menconi , and now that I've seen your pic, I think I've chatted with you a bit on the site.. Glad you can make it out. Same with you @Nick Fitzpatrick .

If any of you have colleagues from the are on BP or offline, feel free to invite them also. I don't know many up here, or I would be on a tagging spree.. See you all soon!

PS: Note that the Hilton Sonoma Wine Country is just the title of the hotel, and it is in Santa Rosa, not Sonoma, in case anyone thought about driving the wrong way!
