New Investor in Los Angeles, CA

Vivian Huang

Hi everyone! My name is Vivian and I'm from Los Angeles, CA.

I got interested in real estate after I bought my own primary residence last year, and started managing my parent's SFR around the same time. Soon after, I came across Bigger Pockets and read Rich Dad Poor Dad, which sky rocketed by interest in real estate, after realizing it wasn't as daunting as I thought it was.

My goals are to close at least 2 deals this year. I'm looking in both LA and out of state, although OOS seems a little bit more tangible at the moment (trying not to get paralysis by analysis). I'm primarily looking for multi-family units that cash flow. Eventually, I'd love to get into flipping and adding value to property.

Happy to chat and toss around ideas/strategies with anyone! If you're in the LA area (I'm in West LA & DTLA) and want to get coffee, I'm always down for that too.

WElcome!  A good area if you dont want to venture too far is to buy around Temecula.  You can get a good 3 bedroom for $370, and a good 4 bedroom for $400+450.  GReat schools, low crime, great tenants, etc.  Just a thought.  Properties are appreciating well and rents are steadily rising as well.
