Hi everyone! My name is Efi and I’m a new (to real estate) investor from Los Angeles, CA. I’m an equity analyst by trade and my approach with stocks is to hold long term and focus on companies that exhibit value, high returns on capital and strong cash flows. One day it hit me, could this spill over into real estate? I asked my friend the same question and he referred me to BP and now I’m hooked. Such a strong community! My goals are to learn, build a strong team/network, and put it all into action through investing in buy and hold type rental properties – seems like I’m leaning out of state – of 4 units or less. Anyway, looking forward to making new friends, making some not too costly mistakes, and having fun!

Hey Efi! I'm your neighbor, down in Venice. I also buy out-of-state rental properties. As much as I love westside LA, it's just not cash flow friendly!
