Ah, here it is. Thank goodness for keyword alerts! I'll be there.

Wait, what day?

Any luck on this property yet @Chad Jarrah? Or word as to why they haven't just sold it to avoid being foreclosed? 

Hi Sydni, welcome! 

Sacramento and San Diego aren't exactly near each other. Do you travel a lot between the two areas? 

Hi Bonnie, I recently moved to Davis and looking for education and networking opportunities. Have you had any success with REI groups or meet ups in the area?

Kevin Thompson at the Green Valley Group, without a doubt. He often books well in advance, for a reason. Even if you need it done this week, call him, it's worth a shot. He's in Unionville.

Hello Tyler W. and welcome! Hopefully in the next year or two I'll be in a position to use your services, either wholesaling or inspections in the Davis/Sacremento area. Until then, there are many blogs on wholesaling, which may provide some insight and/or good names to contact in the comments. All the best!

That's what dreams are made of! Very well done, it's beautiful. 

I, too, am interested to hear a few more details. Looks like the overall structure was pretty solid, just needed some (ha!) interior remodeling and the exterior fixings. What say you, @Micki M.?

Thanks all! Already on it, Brandon. 

I have not done any investing yet. Been keeping my nose to the grindstone a little too much so far in this life, and have only recently realized the benefits and necessities of other sources of income. So, I'm starting this year. 

Hi all, 

You wonderful investors that make up the community of BiggerPockets have already made a huge impact on this one, well before my first post. I thank you for that, and for all the future things I will surely learn here. 

I came to REI through the realization that as much as I loved my day job, it will likely never provide the financial environment I'm looking for. Hopefully, a (big) handful of small multi-unit buy-and-holds will be able to provide that financial environment while I get to keep the joy of my primary career. So far, I've had one offer accepted, only to fall through on inspection. A little gun shy now, but working the numbers on a nearby four plex to get back on that horse!

To be honest, it escapes me how I came across BP last year, but in the last few months since heading down this path, I've learned from webinars, posts, podcasts, hundreds of blogs, and been inspired many times. @Brandon Turner made a very effective marketing ploy at the end of a webinar, and I went Pro. That membership has already paid for itself in the dozens of rental properties I've analyzed with the unlimited access to the calculators. 

Again, thanks to all, and thanks for creating this venue for us newbies to introduce ourselves.
