Hey everyone,I’m considering investing in the Los Angeles market and looking at a 4-unit multifamily property that's already tenant-occupied.I know LA is incredibly diverse, with some great neighborhoods and some that are more challenging.

I wanted to share a piece of advice that I've found incredibly helpful in managing the demands of this business: avoid giving out your personal cell phone number to owners or tenants, especially tenants.I highly recommend setting up a separate business line, like through a service such as Ring Central.

It’s incredibly helpful, especially for someone like me who’s just starting to explore house hacking more seriously.

I recently worked with Rent To Retirement and had an outstanding experience that I wanted to share with the BiggerPockets community.From day one, their team was incredibly helpful and patient throughout the entire process.

I’m incredibly grateful for this platform a friend referred me to.

Quote from @Garrett Brown: If your Airbnb listing isn’t getting clicks, it doesn’t matter how incredible your property is—no clicks mean no bookings.

Any referrals, insights, or even cautionary tales would be incredibly helpful. 

I always approach relationships with a long term mindset.

I am approaching 40 and just now starting to explore real estate.

It’s been incredibly effective for reaching motivated sellers and building an investor list.
