@Vincent Chen and @Andrew Postell - keep in mind that you would have PMI on any loan that you put less than 20% down on, and may affect cash flow.

Thank you. This discussion was my exact question as well, I appreciate the info.

@Brandon Carlson - thanks!  I'm excited.

@Brandon Carlson - Thank you.  I'm learning lots and just put a down payment on my first deal since joining bigger pockets.

Thank you for hosting it was great to meet others and network.

@Ari T. thank you so much

@Ari T. - Thank you.  I saw that tip, but not sure how to do that.  Can you please help?

I rent where I live to because it's so expensive in California and I move every few years with my projects.   I would definitely consider owning my primary, but it's not an available option for me as I chose location and living on the beach for a premium for awhile at this time in my life.

@Charles Simon - thank you, I would love to.  Just let me know where and when.

Hi, my name is Mary Veldkamp and I currently live in Huntington Beach, CA 

I am new to bigger pockets and excited to learn all I can about investing, finding and analyzing deals, getting to know others, creating a team and putting new knowledge into practice.  

I have been a landlord previously in CA and in TX and would like to start investing again.  I have an AA in interior design as well as a BS in Construction Engineering from Cal Poly Pomona.  I currently work as a PM building for a commercial general contractor in SoCal with background in hospitality, aviation, private commercial and healthcare.  I love my job and the experience I have has given me confidence to pursue this side of my interests as I am not afraid of construction and know how to estimate properly as well as schedule.

I came to join Bigger Pockets through my sister and her husband who are successful business entrepreneurs and watching how the BRRR process works for them. I would also love to have financial freedom from my W2 and use all my experience to learn a new business. I started putting the building blocks in place and know I can get there with my hard work ethic, integrity and attention to detail.

I would love to connect with a CPA, attorney, contractor and agent in Nevada and Arizona and Florida or anyone else that wants a teammate to partner with or just network.  I can bring both cash and management experience to a deal.  I am willing to travel, flexible with my time and resources.

Best, Mary
