Hello everyone!

I'm Mike, a newbie from LA. Currently I work in the entertainment industry for a advertising agency, cutting trailers, tv spots and other sorts of content for movie, tv shows, etc. Sound fun right? watch movies for work. It was at first but I quickly found myself putting in a lot of hours to move up (to an editor position) and I'm burning out.

I found BP after a youtube binge and was instantly hooked. I signed up for the 90 Day Challenge seminar, loved it. Signed up for BP Pro that day and jumped in head first. That was a month ago and in that time I have read HOW TO INVEST IN REAL ESTATE, HOW TO INVEST IN REAL ESTATE WITH NO MONEY DOWN, THE BOOK ON RENTAL PROPERTY INVESTING. I might add I have not read a book in the last 4 years since i graduated from college so I don't know how this person is.

My current goal is to purchase a property in LA that I can house-hack. I'm meeting with a friend this weekend who is actually a realtor to get all my questions answered. After that, Im hoping to invest out of state where cashflow is actually possible. Apartment complexes look interesting, but I think I'll stick to multifamily/BRRRR units.

If you read this far, you are my MVP (Real Estate Rookie reference :P)

Thank you and good luck on your journey!
