New to BP - Los Angeles Agent and Investor

[Carrington Booth]

Hi BiggerPockets!

I'm a Real Estate agent on the Westside of Los Angeles and am upset I just realized I really needed to join Bigger Pockets.  I originally bought my first income producing property 10 years ago and found great info in this forum which really helped me out.  I should have never been approved for the loan (21 year old in college with "poker" income), but luckily all is well with the property and it still provides good cash flow to this day.

I will try to make this sound as least salesy as possible (you can see my Marketplace ad for the sales pitch =p). I have a degree in Property Management from Virginia Tech and have worked for various PM companies Mom and Pop size to the second largest residential REIT in the US, before focusing on sales.

My goals for investing mainly focus on acquiring buy and hold properties.  I've always had a passion for Real Estate and love helping people achieve their dreams, so sales was a great choice for me.  Although I would like to start working on my own dreams soon. =)

I have tons of catching up to do on the forums and am very grateful for the amount of knowledge I can find here and how helpful people are.

Thanks for having me!
