Newbie Investor from Los Angeles, California

[Isabel Ortiz-Gelder]

Hey everyone! My name is Isabel Ortiz, & I'm a twenty-something living in Los Angeles, very new to real estate investing. A more experienced investor actually introduced me to the Bigger Pockets podcast after making it clear that we wanted the same thing: financial freedom...and that investing is a powerful way to achieve that. I got hooked & have been studying up on the BRRRR method, and am hoping to invest in a property this way as it seems to be the best path. Currently I'm looking to invest in multifamily outside of California (from what I've learned this market isn't the greatest at the moment), preferably in the Philadelphia area.

The goal is to learn as much as possible, build a solid network, & land my first deal very soon. I'm looking forward to all the knowledge and connection this space has to offer!

@Isabel Ortiz-Gelder Welcome to BP, Isabel. 

Multifamily can be small (2-4UNITS) and large (>5 UNITS), and they are several ways for you to gets started. 

For the smaller stuff, you can find a great Agent/PM in your target market. 

For larger stuff, you can invest passively in a deal and just sit back and enjoy the mailbox money come to you!

Congratulations on discovering the power of REI 👏👏👏
