Introduction, totally new, goal to buy first property in 2019

[Ian Goodstein]

Hello All,

I am totally new to real estate investing. My goal is to close my first deal in 2019. I want to buy and hold a duplex or triplex rental property somewhere in the Los Angeles, CA area.

A little about me: I'm a self employed equipment leasing broker, and have been since 2012. We essentially do hard money equipment deals for businesses. For example, if a construction company needed to finance a crane but their bank said no. 

Looking forward to learning as much as I can!
