Newbie in Silicon Valley!
Hi All!
So happy to have found BP through searching for REI podcasts! I have been largely self-educated in REI, so I'm looking forward to filing in the gaps with the expertise found here.
I am Lauren Heart (YES real name/real spelling) living in one of the most expensive areas in the country, Silicon Valley. I have long wanted to own investment property and was finally able to begin purchasing properties in May of this year. I am an Art Educator in my community, but also hold a RE license, and have some Property Mangagement background as well. I have lived all over the country and due to the insane prices in my current backyard, it was easiest to first buy and hold out of state.
A chief primary goal involves setting up the right business structure to scale quickly for future buy and holds out of state. I am also very interested in buying a 4-plex (or larger) in my own backyard that I will house hack and manage. That of course will require a good deal, and great partnerships as all multi-property here are quite pricey! Long-term goals involve leaving the Art field all together, and being solely in RE Investing and Property Management. Whooooohoooo! Nice to be here, and finally on my way!
