I’m really excited to interview Logan Allec of LoganAllec.com about Santa Clarita. Logan’s tips for the best things to do in Santa Clarita are awesome because he moved to the area to invest in real estate and be close to his wife’s family, and now he’s built a business helping taxpayers address their tax debts. He loves Santa Clarita because it’s one of the safest areas near Los Angeles to raise a family.
