Hopping on the BP Train - New in So Cal
Hello Everybody!
I am new to real estate investing, so I had to get an education, and what a gem I stumbled upon when I found this site. This is just a wealth of knowledge coming from every angle. It is almost overwhelming the amount of stuff I need to learn, but slow and steady wins the race, and I know BP will help me along the way.
I would consider myself new to real estate, even though my mother has been in the business for 20+ years. Her knowledge has rubbed off on me enough to be fluent in the lingo, but nothing in depth by any means. Because of her, I knew I wanted to take this career path in some capacity, so I received my salesperson's license last summer only to find out being an agent wasn't what I wanted. I wanted to be on the investment side. Though I still have a day job, my goal is to eventually transfer into a full time investor. I know LA county will be tough to jump in to, but what market isn't? Wish me luck!
