Newbie Investor in Los Angeles Area

[Kate Bogart]

Hi All!

My boyfriend and I have just started the journey of getting into Real Estate Investing! 

A little bit about us; my corporate job shut down their US office this summer so I found myself without a job and a search for purpose/passion in my life. I am now studying for my Real Estate License, listening to several investing podcasts, & currently reading "The Book on Rental Property Investing". My boyfriend works in the film industry building sets & props and used to help build houses before that. 

Our goal is to first find a duplex in the LA area to renovate and house hack. After that we would either like to invest in bigger rental properties (in state or out of state) or get into house flipping. Probably both down the line, but we haven't quite decided what the second step will be yet. 

I am looking forward to making connections and learning a lot from this community! 

Best,

Kate

@Kate Bogart welcome to BP. Don't worry about the second step. Just do your best to successfully complete your first step. You will learn so much on your first deal it will help you decide a path for the future.
