New investor from the valley, Los Angeles, CA

[Daniel Feldman]

Hey Everyone,

My names Daniel, or Dan. I'm new to Real Estate and Investing and utilizing BP to help me prepare for my first investment. My wife and I just bought our first house in Reseda, but not necessarily as an investment. I'm a former touring musician and for the last 8 years i've been running a private label clothing company with my brother, with retail in Brooklyn, NY and design and production all done out here in Los Angeles, all made in USA! We will be closing our company at the end of this year and my plan is to begin investing in real estate, though i'm not sure which route ill take yet, be it wholesaling, fix and flip, finding a duplex to rent or maybe even looking at bigger multi family/apartment units. I feel like i've done so much reading, research, listening to podcasts, just trying to figure out the best strategy to start DOING. I guess this is my first step.

I'd love to connect with anyone in the area or in LA proper that would be down to grab a lunch on me, let me tag along for a day, or come check out a current flip they're working on. Certainly willing to offer a hand where I can in exchange for some education and practical on the job knowledge! Looking forward to meeting everyone and becoming a more solid fixture around BP over the coming weeks/months/years!

Thanks!

Hey @Daniel Feldman 

Welcome to Bigger Pockets. It's awesome here. And yes, tons, if not too much to learn. The hard part is to balance the neverending learning with the action part.

I went from zero to wholesaling to flipping to seller financing to multiplex syndication within a few months. I don't think anyone can tell you what is good or best for you, that's something you need to figure out. For me, it's large size multifamily.

Make sure you spend some time here daily to discover the ins and outs of everything. It takes a while, but that's the cool thing too about BP, it never exhausts itself because there are soo many awesome people to meet and things to learn.

I hope to meet you for coffee some day. Until then...

Cheers, Ken
