Real Estate for Social Good

You have a new review from Steve

Thank you for the kind words!! Reviews and personal referrals are everything! I’ve never really run my own business like this before — always just here and there entrepreneurship ventures & ideas as side gigs. But fully stepping into being a business owner, with actual real clients who trust me with their massive real estate…

Sold! 5842 S Halldale

Congrats to another house hacker in South LA!! (Live in one unit & rent the other.) She endured quite a journey to get here. Definitely the longest search so far, looking for the right property and overcoming doubt! It’s tough to find a duplex in Los Angeles with a vacant unit! I’m all for rent…

Sold! 420 N Market #9

Congrats to my house hacking buyer for closing on his new place in Inglewood!! House hacking is where you buy a property and rent part of it out while you live there. It helps pay down the mortgage and saves you money on housing while you save up for the next investment. Lowering your housing…

Sold! 1029 Tyleen

Congrats to these first time homebuyers who just closed today! I think at one point they had 4-5 offers out simultaneously. 😂 They were committed to finding their house!!!

It’s all about relationships!

One thing I’ve learned over the last few years of investing in real estate is that it’s all about relationships! Yes obviously it has to be a good deal, in a strong market, but those can be found in a lot of places. More rare is finding competent people you can trust. Relationships can make…

Under Contract! Duplex house hack

Okay. I am literally excited for every client I have who finds their home. BUT, I am particularly excited about this one that opened escrow today, because she is buying a duplex, living on one side, and renting out the other. Eventually, she will convert the garage to an ADU, and have a triplex. This…
