Couldn't Figure Out how to put a Profile Pic
Hello fellow BP members! Brand spanking new to Biggerpockets, but no so new in the industry. I've been working in the field of real estate for 10 years. Bouncing around from being a Mortgage Consultant, Real estate agent, Project Manager, HOA Assistant Manager, and finally settled in at as an Accounting Staff at a Property Management company. Not trying to boast my vast experience here. In fact, you can have a resume such as mine and still know absolutely nothing which is why I am here. That's just how Real Estate works and why I love it so much. There is always something new to learn.
So, I recently got married and ready to settle down (buy a nice nest egg). However working with so many investors and seeing the $$$$$ opportunity that they benefit from, I couldn't see myself living in a Single Family Home without being smacked everyday by large dollar sign of opportunity cost that would hover above me for not trying my hand at house hacking (I learned that term on the podcasts). So I went out to search for strategies on living in a multi-family income property 4-units or less to reap the benefits of low down payment (Google!) which has lead me here. I'll have to admit, What you guys have provided in this site would have costed a literal arm, leg, and first born child a decade ago and maybe still so today. I've listened to numerous podcasts which has inspired me to add real estate investing to my resume. I live and work in the Los Angeles County Area and to my dismay I find it is difficult to find deals that I could try my hand at house hacking. But I am also interested in possibly looking at other markets to move into. I'm hoping to connect with others across the U.S. to find some deals and make our "pockets bigger."
TL:DR
Please show me how to create profile picture. I want people to know that I am not a creepy grey silhouette. I tried navigating the whole site looking for a way to upload. But its late and I give up. Please help this lost soul.
