I started at the bottom in my current career/ industry and am proud of the success I've had.

I'm very excited to begin this new chapter of my career.

(I'm also very familiar with rent stabilization laws since I work in housing policy for my career, so I'm aware of how that offsets a lot of upside potential, at least in the short term.)Is this "Sub-1% Rule" just something you need to accept as a buyer/investor in LA?

I waited until my teaching career was finished to get into real estate, but you had the great foresight to go into it while you're teaching.

My goal is to diversify my income away from my W-2 career and eventually become financially independent one day.

I have done mostly flips in my career and love doing them but the deals are harder to come by these days.

A mentor is definitely a useful strategy, I've worked with mentors my whole career and they really open your mind

Alyssa and I are at the very beginning of our young careers ( I'm 24, she's 23) and are taking our first steps in the big boy and girls world.

I want to switch my career to Real Estate - something related.   

Why are you going into a career field that pays terribly?
