Hello everyone!

I am both new to BP and to REI. I have been doing a lot of research and have just started the process of getting approved for my first home loan. I am looking to start with doing small multi-family buy and holds. I would like my first property to be in driving distance from me but I am also interested in going out of state. Including North Carolina, Nevada, Tennessee, and Ohio. I choose those other places because I travel a lot for work and I have liked neighborhoods in all of those states.

I am also interested in meeting anyone in the los angeles area for coffee so I can pick your brain. In return perhaps I can be of some assistance with online marketing and video production. My current line of work is as a producer of online content. So I have a lot of experience making online videos and getting them to go viral or at least a significant amount of views. So if you need some knowledge about that stuff I am your lady. (I specifically produce comedic content but have produced drama as well)

Very excited to continue my journey on BP! Thanks!

    Awesome! Not sure where abouts in CA you would be investing, but many Californians turn to the Midwest being that CA real estate is un obtainable at this point. Midwest cash flow can’t be beat.

    Hey Kadiatou! Well since you mentioned coffee, there is a meetup in West LA on the second Saturday of every month, hosted by @Jeff Greenberg. It's a great one because it's just a bunch of people, meeting at a coffee shop, who all share what they are involved with and working on and then people can ask questions and network with who they want. No sales, nothing. I enjoy it and I always learn something new. 

    So that's the coffee part...

    Otherwise, welcome to BP and REI! Where are you in LA? I'm in Venice. Lots of great resources on here and most of us are always plenty willing to help out! Ask anything.

    Hi @Kadiatou Martin,

    Congrats on getting started in real estate. I do some flips and wholesaling in California. Best advice I could give is focus on one market. This will decrease your stress levels and elevate your belief that you are able to be an investor and do this business. Good luck to you.
