Hello BP crew! I'm Jolyn and new to BP. I currently live in DTLA and would love to meet more people in my neck of the woods. I have yet to do my first RE investing, so everything is still very foreign to me no matter how many podcast episodes I've listened to. My background is in hospitality management/tourism and now finishing up the interior architecture program at UCLA extension (this summer!). I'd love to bring my love for hospitality and design into my future RE investments and meet more people who have those same interests!
I'm looking to do my first investment out of state (Vegas area or Atlanta) because LA is so expensive and would love to chat with anyone who'd like to share their expertise and/or experience.

@Jolyn Chen , welcome to the BP community. You've reached the right place to expand your knowledge in REI . I'm also in California so I see your concerns with the cost of investing here, however you will be able to network with people who can definitely , help with questions and give great advice . I wish you the best on your journey.
Hi @Jolyn Chen, welcome to BP! BP is great and has so many resources.
I find it very difficult to invest in LA too, so I invest out of state. Spend some time learning about different investing strategies and choose a strategy that works best for your life situation. Once I focused on a strategy, that's when I made the most progress.
I live in DTLA too. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat!
@Jeffrey Almonte thanks for the advice! I’d love to chat more to see what strategies worked for you in the beginning. Out of state seems to be the right move for me but really unsure which route to take.
I think that we’ve met in school back in cal poly, right? I’m excited to hear how you got into all this since we last met!
