Howdy from Los Angeles

[Shamim Toufighian]

Hey BiggerPockets community!

My wife, our two year daughter, and myself moved from Atlanta, GA to Los Angeles about a year and a half ago to be closer to my wife's family. It was quite a transition for me because I've lived in Atlanta for over 30 years, but now I'm happy to say I'm loving the LA life!

I've always been interested in REI, and I own a condo in Atlanta. But the 2007/2008 housing bubble crisis scarred me to where I lost interest in further pursuing investing.

However, the REI itch has been creeping its way back, and now is at a point where it want to truly educate myself to gain the confidence and knowledge to make smart investments.

I would love to connect with you all to network, discuss, and absorb as much info as possible from this wonderful community.

Hopefully I get to meet some of you face to face at some meet ups!

Hi Shamim,

Welcome to LA and BP... BP is a great tool with tons of information.

You will also find info on local real estate clubs here on BP or meetup.com. I suggest you go and check them out, find your favorite and attend. Its always good to connect with others in your local market.

Cheers! see you around...
