Is it too late to start investing in RE?

[Jonathan Guerrero]

Hi everyone,

I'm new here and I've listened to almost all of the podcasts and, I'm really excited and motivated to get started. My goal is to have passive cash flow but I'm finding my self stumped because I don't want to purchase a good deal on the terrible side of town. And everything listed on the good side is listed at market value. How do I find these killer deals on duplexes or fourplexes? Should I buy at market value? Should my first investment  be out of town or out of state?

I'm in CA BTW.
