New Investor from Ann Arbor w/rentals in SoCal

[Michele G.]

I am a new BP member & investor looking to learn as much as possible and expand my real estate portfolio. A few years ago I inherited a couple of rental properties (condos) in Southern California so I have some experience as a landlord, but zero experience in analyzing & buying real estate investments. I have the finances and ratios worked out on our current rentals. Now I have decided that I would like to start adding to our real estate portfolio so I started researching and found BP. I live in the Ann Arbor area and am comfortable with both the Ann Arbor/Washtenaw County and north Orange County areas. My goal is to make my first purchase this year. My current interests are in buy & hold properties either SFH, condos, or multifamily.

at this stage in the real estate cycle make sure the rentals are going to be good for long term holds. North Orange County have many properties that are older on bigger lots and you can add value. That should for sure help.
