Hello Biggerpockets,I’m a moderately experienced and networked real estate investor looking to start exploring the wholesaling niche here in LA.Looking for a gut check of my strategy, and to speak with anyone pursuing similar niches here in LA or other highly competitive markets.Context and backgroundMy first deal was a massive live-in flip.

I would get the FHA loan in my name and my wife and I spoke and I will live in the other home (most of the homes we're seeing are about 35-40 miles away from our current home so I won't be too far that I'm absent from my family) but I don't want my family to have to move out of our current home.

Quote from @Trystan Clark: Hi everyone, I am getting married later this month, and my wife-to-be and I live and work in the Bay Area.

I also live in the Phoenix area and just got my real estate license.

Regarding the location, I could definitely see keeping it a while and it’s only a few minutes from where my wife and I live now which is a comfortable area.

I currently live in my primary residence (2nd SFH). 

She’s not living in it.

I'm originally from Round Lake, live in Wauconda now, and my office is in Palatine!

Here are a few reasons I want to move into this industry: I love property (and would love to own it around the world), I enjoy spending time with family and traveling, I want a more flexible life down the line so I can spend more time doing the things which are important to me.I am looking for someone in the UK or European market and would like to have a stimulating conversation with you to learn more, and I would love to offer my time and energy to help you towards your business.

It may be tough to find a property manager, and I would expect that you'll have a few additional fees when it comes to the rent by room strategy.I'd encourage you to think about managing the property yourself when living there as the landlord, and would be happy to share some of the do's and don't's that I ran into self managing a few house hack properties.
