Hello BP Community! My name is Fred Joaquin. I'm a relatively new real estate investor in the Los Angeles area. Specifically, I am in the Eagle Rock /Highland Park area. We're in a really up and coming neighborhood where real estate is booming so if you'd like an inside scoop on what's going on over here lately feel free to ask me. :)
Anyway, what I do is I find and provide off-market, discounted properties to all-cash flippers, landlords, and home buyers. My wife and I have a small start-up wholesaling company with very effective (surprisingly effective-to be honest) marketing that allows us to get some great deals all over Los Angeles county. We'd love to meet as many of you as possible on here and learn about the different aspects of real estate investing. If you're local to us, we'd love to buy you a cup of coffee and pick your brain about wholesaling, flipping or landlording. Thanks and hope to meet some of you soon!

Hey Fred! Thanks for the post! I too am in the LA area; but I'm a newbie. I focus on the LA Metro area; primarily South LA, Inglewood and south to Torrance. Since I grew up in the Antelope Valley I market in that area, as well as Santa Clarita and San Fernando Valleys.
I'm curious to hear more about your effective marketing strategies to find motivated sellers. I'm also curious to hear how much time you devote to wholesaling.
Hi Fred,
I'm an agent in the Weho/BH area. I have an investor/developer that I work with on projects. I find him projects, manage them and resell them. He funds the deals. We are very picky but I would love to be added to your list when you have properties come available. Thanks!

I am an investor living/working in North LA county (Santa Clarita Valley, San Fernando Valley). I am always looking for new opportunities and meet other investors. Send me a direct message if you ever want meet up.
Fred, welcome to Bigger Pockets. You've found the right tool for networking. I would recommend inquiring around the forums (or searching previous posts) for REI groups. There are many in the LA area and are a great way to connect with people, and learn from more experienced investors. @Jeff Greenberg hosts a free one in Santa Monica on the 2nd Saturday of each month at the Unurban Cafe. I look forward to seeing you around.
Welcome Fred! I am a newbie from the Torrance area of South Bay. That's awesome that you are already having success in such a competitive market. Best of luck
