Hello from LA - Brand New and Eager to Learn

Member since 2024 · 42 posts · 12 votes

Hey all,

Just wanted to introduce myself - bought a duplex in Los Feliz over the summer with a few business partners and will be renovating the property while living there. Also will be adding two ADUs in the back to turn the whole place into a 4 unit rental. Then I p;an to move out and find another project.

I am excited to join the forums and learn from the vast wealth of knowledge on here, as well as (hopefully) benefit the community with some of my own learnings.

Look forward to the journey.

Franklin

Hi Franklin and welcome to real estate investing. Congrats on buying an investment property. A lot of people say they can't find a good investment in LA, but you are proof that deals can be found.
