New Member, Los Angeles Area

[Brent Davis]

Hello All,

I am a new member from the Los Angeles area (specifically Burbank) and am very excited to become part of the BP community! I just joined yesterday and have already found a great deal of useful information and really enjoy the podcasts, so, thank you!

I have spent the last 12 years in Multifamily Housing helping the investors I worked for make lots of money and I'm ready to go out and do it for myself. I recently left my job and started my own consulting company doing Project Management for capital improvement projects in the multifamily industry.

I really want to get into the fix n flip game in the short term and buy and hold for the long term. I have my RE license and am thinking about becoming an agent as I have some time and thought that would be a good way to get my feet wet. Thoughts?

Looking forward to getting to know everyone and networking with members in my area..

Brent

Marco Santarelli Thank you for the welcome! To be honest, I never meant to stay there that long.. I started out doing customer service while putting myself through school at night and next thing I knew, I was done with school, a Director in the company and happy to have a good paycheck in a down economy.. I bought a condo in 2006 that I couldn't sell and had to rent for negative cash-flow, ultimately short selling it ... mistake #1 under my belt ;-) and got a little gun-shy.. but going out on my own 7 months ago renewed my entrepreneurial spirit and I know that real estate is where I want to be!! The agent thing seems like a vehicle for gaining knowledge but you're right, to be successful in that as a career would take full time attention and its not really what I want to do..

Ned Carey For some reason, I am drawn to the idea of fix n flip but ultimately just don't want to ever go back to the corporate world if I can help it! :) Thank you for the input and advice, it is greatly appreciated! I may want to pick your brain..
