New Investor in Multi-Family Real Estate Looking to Learn and Partner
Hey everyone,
I’m diving into multi-family real estate in Los Angeles and California and looking to connect with like-minded people as I build my portfolio. The market here feels like it’s on the verge of a shift—many investors who bought in the last few years may need to sell, which could open doors for those of us ready to take action.
A little about me: I grew up in a working-class family where I started young, helping my father and uncle manage their properties and businesses. That experience gave me a solid foundation in property management and repairs. I’ve also worked for a few investors, focusing on organizing maintenance, handling tenant relationships, and coordinating upgrades.
Now, I’m venturing out on my own. While I’m open to 6–10 unit properties, my long-term goal is to work with 20–300 unit buildings where I can put my skills to good use. I’m not claiming to know it all—I’m here to learn, build relationships, and grow.
Here’s what I bring to the table:
- A strong understanding of leveraging Net Operating Income (NOI) to secure financing and reduce out-of-pocket costs.
- Experience in negotiating deals and identifying opportunities, especially in the LA market where many multi-family properties are under $2 million.
- Skills in managing larger properties, from scheduling repairs and upgrades to optimizing operations for long-term value.
- The ability to use AI tools for data analysis, market insights, and deal projections to help us act quickly and efficiently.
I’ll be upfront—my funds are limited after dedicating the COVID years to supporting my family, but I have the work ethic and expertise to find and manage properties that perform. I’m looking to connect with:
- Partners who can bring resources or experience to the table while I handle the heavy lifting of deal-finding, analysis, and management.
- Investors interested in deals with clear strategies and long-term potential.
While I’d prefer to build a portfolio for the long haul, I understand the market always has buyers. If an early buyout opportunity arises, I’m happy to secure a solid return for all involved. Transparency is important to me, and I want to build partnerships that are fair and mutually beneficial.
If you’re in California or have an interest in the multi-family market here, let’s connect! I’d love to learn from your experience and see if we can create opportunities together.
Thanks for reading, and I look forward to connecting!
