New real estate investor - Los Angeles

Hi – My name is Alex Blonigan & I'd like to introduce myself to the BP community. I am living and working in Los Angeles as a management consultant and CPA. I plan to buy a single family house in Los Angeles in the next 6 months, live in and rehab this property, and then turn it into my first rental property. I am also keeping an eye out for additional SFR investment properties in Los Angeles, but I plan to make out of state investing my core strategy going forward, likely in Minnesota where I am from originally. I've already learned a great deal from BiggerPockets and the BP community and I look forward to having conversations with investors and learning about others' Real Estate experiences!
