Hi everyone. My name is Sean Hurwitz and after chatting with Mr. @Brandon Turner, I thought it might be a good idea to formally introduce myself.
Originally born and raised in Israel, I've been living in LA since 2003. I'm a Musician by trade and an entrepreneur at heart. One of my main gigs is playing guitar for the band "Smash Mouth". As I said, it's only one of them. I've also been investing in my future through song writing and producing for 8-9 years. After seeing (from experience) that music royalties are going nowhere but downhill, I decided to invest my money and time elsewhere. That's when I discovered Real Estate. So, here we are!
Thanks to the BP team and members this new adventure has been a VERY cool one so far! I listen to the podcast daily (catching up on all of them) and I'm here to make as many friends in the biz as I can. I'm ALL about the relationships, so hit me up! :-)

Hi @Sean Hurwitz Welcome to BP. I'm really happy to hear that you've recognized the opportunity to diversify your income streams with real estate.
As @Shane W. can tell you, I'd be happy to jump on a call with you and share with you my experience of investing in real estate, getting licensed, etc here in Los Angeles.
Welcome fellow Bigger Pockets member! This is a great forum and I am sure it will help you learn many facets of the real estate investment world. I purchased my first investment property over 40 years ago and only wish that I had a resource like BP community when I got started! So you are in a good company.
Some say that your net-worth equals your network, and this is the place to make right connections. You should also find investors locally and network with them face-to-face. Find people close to you using MEET feature. Also, look for investor meetings on Meetup.
All the best!
Thanks Edward, already met a good chunk of them. Great company!
