New member intro
- Hello,
- 🌎 I am currently located in SF Bay Area and looking to invest in Los Angeles market and make it my primary residence as well.
- 💫 My plan is to invest into a duplex or a single family house with existing ADU.
- 🏠 I got interested in real estate investing after listening to financial independence podcasts a few years ago.
Would love to connect with other first time buyers looking to start house-hacking in Southern California in order to support each other through this journey as well as with experienced house-hackers for some mentorship and just to make new friends.

Hey Margarita!
Welcome to BP. I'm a 2x house hacker here in Los Angeles, including one with an ADU. Definitely changed my life!
