Blake Carlile - Missouri guy living the dream in Los Angeles

Hey folks!

Totally forgot to introduce myself before posting in another forum thread.  Glad to be on BP.  My wife and I are finally at a point in our careers where we're earning enough to start investing in real estate.

1. Where I am based:I am based in Los Angeles California but will be investing in the Kansas City / suburb areas with the BRRRR strategy. Starting off with SFR up to 4-plexes. California might be too pricy for us to invest in at the moment, but after seeing Lee Ripma's BP podcast episode, I've become dedicated to investing long distance in the KC area as well.

2. Goals in joining BP: To learn from others' experiences and to wrangle up some highly recommended investor-minded professionals for my team. (Agents, Lenders, Contractors, PMs, CPA / financial advisor, etc.)

3. Interesting facts about me: I'm currently a professional film editor on popular scripted television shows. I was in the Air National Guard (St. Louis), I very nearly bought a 15k sq. ft. self storage facility in MO in 2020.

Thanks!
