Becoming a Project Manager

[Ashley Woody]

Hello! I have been working in Los Angeles as a large scale event producer. I oversee everything from design and décor to fabrication and permitting. I'm talking multimillion dollar parties, where I convert dirt lots into a temporary structures and transform the entire inside to a luxury party for celebrities to enjoy after attending the Golden Globes, kind of parties. 

A few years ago, I got my real estate license with the intent on flipping houses. I have worked in both interior design and marketing, and thought that flipping would be a nice cumulation of all of my skills that would actually put real cash into my pockets, although I have ended up just sitting on my license.

However, my desire to flip houses has only increased as I've watched market values skyrocket and increase rates drop as my stagnant income suffers because a year's worth of lockdowns have brought events to a halt. While still being able to get my foot in with some restaurant design late last year, it confirmed my passion for designing a space and converting it to its maximum potential. 

I want in to the real estate market in Southern California! 

Thanks in advance!

Hello Ashley,

That's very impressive. Do you have current experience flipping houses right now? I think holding the properties for the long term is better business right now, However, flipping can be a great strategy to get some cash.

Cheers,
