Excited to be Here Woodland Hills, CA
Hello! I wanted to introduce myself my name is Heather Boren and I am a commercial real estate broker based in Woodland Hills, CA (SoCal/Los Angeles) and instructor at UCLA Extension. I am looking forward to contributing to the forums, especially topics including: financial analysis and underwriting (a class I teach at UCLA), leasing commercial properties, and flipping v. renting (via my former position at American Homes 4 Rent). When I am not busy with real estate, I enjoy competitive figure skating and hanging out with my two huskies who are rescues.

@Julie Marquez thank you for the kind words and I hope I can help! Looking forward to it. I actually purchased my first home before the age of 30 in CA, and invested in several REIT companies (some I worked for previously as VP) including American Homes 4 Rent, Public Storage, and a few others including retail property portfolios. My personal funds are now patiently waiting for the next cycle, but have a few target types already ;) My personal real estate goals are long-term.
