Hi Everyone. My name is Larry and I'm fairly new to Bigger Pockets. I live is Los Angeles and I was laid off from my job back in June. Although I've been looking for another job, i have to be quite honest and admit I'm tired of working for others. I've been interested in real estate for many years but have been a little nervous about jumping in. I'm looking to network with some of you guys who are experienced in investing and flipping, and I'm hoping to find someone who can help mentor me. Looking forward to hearing any advice you have! Thanks!
