Hey all,

Glad to see so many meetups in the greater Los Angeles area. I will have to stop by the SFV meetup tomorrow.

Cheers!

@Damien L. congratulations on taking the plunge. Can I offer a suggestion? If the logistics of the property allow, why not treat the garage as it's own income stream? I'm sure there are people that need a secure space for their car, or boat, that would easily pay a couple hundred dollars to rent a large garage. If it were my property, that's what I would do.

This is what I am thinking, an extra $100-$200 in cash flow is a huge plus. Those numbers are sometimes what we are working with in the Los Angeles market on your main investment!

Congratulations OP, that sounds like an amazing first purchase.

Hey Blake,

Thanks for the post. As I stated in Chris's thread, I have yet to do research on the turnkey investment approach but it seems quite lucrative for the likes of us with full time careers.

What made you go for this approach?

I will be following along with your posts.

Cheers!

Thanks for this post (and subsequent thread) Chris.

I haven't done any research on a turnkey style approach but this shows that it may be something I should consider when looking into my first few properties.

Cheers!

Hey Neil,

I am also new to the community. If you haven't already, I highly suggest reading through the Beginners Guide - it's awesome!

Leaving my post here so I can follow along and ingest whatever input people provide.

Cheers!

Joshua, I actually feel quite the opposite.

I have always looked at Real Estate from the outside, seeing it as an untouchable field which required some form of expertise which was seemingly not achievable for me. After finding about Bigger Pockets, listening to a few podcasts, reading the beginners guide; it's definitely something we can all get into with the right mindset.

While you may feel that you are priced out of your current area (and I currently feel the same way), I bet there are still properties within a few short hours from you that would be more than acceptable for your first rodeo. 

Keep learning and let's run this race together, brother!
