Long-time Lurker in Los Angeles

[Maggie Jones]

My husband and I started our real estate journey in 2010 when we bought our first home, a duplex in Los Angeles. We spent the next 5 years on a DIY down-to-the-studs remodel on our unit.  We were able to pull out some equity last year and put a down payment on a fourplex in Pasadena which we're now in the process of renovating.  

We'll be done upgrading the Pasadena apartments early next year for a 30%+ increase in rents. Then, the search will be on for the next rental property.

The BP forums have been a great resource in the past and I'm thrilled to finally be saying 'hi'. :-)
