32 y.o., living in LA, New to the investing game!

[Ilya Polyakov]

Hi all! Brandon Turner's Book on Rental Property Investing brought me here.

I am 32 years old, married, and have been living in Los Angeles for the past 11 years, where I work in the film industry. I own my condo just outside Culver City, which I bought in March 2015. I've seen what an incredible investment that has been, and have been eager to continue my investing journey for some time, but have not known where to start. The incredibly high cost of real estate here in SoCal has been really discouraging and has forced me to say "it's just not gonna happen."

Then I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad and it really encouraged me to grab life by the balls and start asking "how can I make it happen." I have a nice nest egg, and would like to make some smart, creative decisions to put my money to work, but have hitherto lacked the knowledge necessary. So I've decided to read as much as possible and educate myself on every little thing I can, which is why I am here!

I am hoping to meet some great people, learn from others' experience, and soak in everything I can. From some cursory looking around this seems like a great place already, so I'm excited to really dig in in the coming weeks!

Cheers!
