Newbie From Los Angeles

[Ari Rubinstein]

Hello all!

Ari here located in Los Angeles, California. I am brand new to real estate industry and am looking for anything to help expand my knowledge. I have a diverse background in marketing and advertising which I know will definitely help my success in real estate. In my six years experience within marketing and advertising I developed media driven campaigns to promote brand awareness and acquisition. I am currently pursuing my real estate license.

I am interested in buying and holding property as a long term investment as well as rehabbing and flipping a property. My main goal as a real estate investor would be to take home 100K in annual income but the sky is the limit! I am so excited to be a part of such a great community and am looking forward to developing my real estate career. I first heard of the B.P. through the podcast. I was extremely interested so I visited the website and found all this great community support which is why I landed here. 

I appreciate any feedback you'd give to a any "newbie" :) Thank you for reading my post!

Hello "BP Newbie" and welcome to Bigger Pockets.

In the meantime here are 7 tips to help you grow your business using BP:

1. New to BP?

2. Develop your own business strategy. -- Don’t just be a “jack-of-all-trades"

3. Grow your business by developing your business plan. - Remember there is a difference between goals and a plan.

4. Locate and attend several different local REIAs as they’re great opportunities to network and meet wholesalers, lenders, and contractors.

5. Stay away from the “guru” sales-pitch events - they rarely increase your investment knowledge, they merely empty your wallet!

6. Spend 30 minutes a day on Bigger Pockets by connecting with “colleagues,” perusing blogs and videos, and engaging with others on the forums:

7. Set yourself up to receive free alerts to be notified of subjects that interest you:
