New Investor in Los Angeles... my intro.

Hi All,

Bravo to Bigger Pockets for putting this out there for folks like me who need a place to start.

My wife and I are new to Real Estate Investing but not new to Real Estate. We feel the team approach is the best approach for this point in our lives. Of course like most folks out here we have been pitched and promised but have come to the conclusion that Real Estate Investing is no different then any other venture in our lives.

We have to...
1. Get our minds straight.
2. Gather Knowledge.
3. Get good people around us.
4. Take action.

I consider myself blessed for having the best partner in the world, my wife. Even though she is a READY AIM FIRE person and I am a READY FIRE AIM person, we balance each other out. She has a finance and project manager background and I am a third generation contractor (who promised his dad he would never be a contractor... sorry Dad what did you expect when you would wake me up at 5am to haul shingles and bricks up a ladder at age 14) and first generation entrepreneur.

We are truly looking forward to the constant improvement environment Bigger Pockets has created here.

If you are in LA look us up.... AYCE Sushi yum!

    Hello and welcome to BP Robert Orfino

    I can relate since my wife and I also do this gig and most other things we get involved in together. That’s half the battle – good for you.

    You will find wealth of information here. Ask away, and good luck!

    Hi Robert,
    Welcome to BP. I am new here also working as a team with my spouse. Should be interesting... We are located in NY but one of our goals is to own property in CA since we love it there and would like a reason to spend more time there. What type of REI are you interested in? We are mainly looking into fix and flip and rehabbing in order to build some cash reserves to start acquiring buy and hold properties. We haven't made our first deal yet, as we are in the very beginning stages of our REI business. Let's keep in touch and maybe we can do a deal in CA one day! Good Luck!

    Thanks for the Welcome!

    Carla, your plan sounds like our plan, we like the NE LA area around Pasadena.

    Be well!
