Money to invest in California
Hi Everyone,
I have some money to invest (approximately 100k, but could invest more if the opportunity is right) in Northern California.
I have never invested in real estate before, but I am very interested in it. I am a fairly hard worker/go-getter, but I do have a full-time W2 job. Where do you guys suggest I start?
Thanks in advance!
