Aspiring investor in Los Angeles
Hey Bigger Pockets Community!
My name is Josh. I recently graduated from UC Berkeley with my degree in business and I am currently working as an Administrative Assistant for a construction company. I’ve been interested in real estate investing for a long time and I am currently studying to get my real estate license. The information that I have gotten here has been amazing! My goal is to keep learning, network, and make my first investment into a duplex or triplex in the Los Angeles area within the next 6 months.
I’m looking forward to connecting with some of you!

With the exception of "keep learning and improving", I don't think this is good advice at all and is very general in nature, not to mention highly opinionated with no explanation for the opinion.
Almost anytime is a good time to buy so long as you buy right and have a plan, along with multiple exit strategies. There is not just one way to buy a duplex or triplex in LA, rather, numerous ways to do it and numerous strategies that go along with it. Make sure your numbers work for your plans and goals and move forward with educated and calculated decisions. This rings true no matter where in the world you choose to invest.
