New to Investing, Looking for Help

[Ryan Blake]

Hello BP,

As the subject says, I am new to the Real Estate Investment game. First off, a few things about myself... I am 29 yrs, an Army Veteran just getting out about a year ago Nov. 2015 (served 4 years), Married with a baby girl. I will soon start taking classes for my CA R.E. License and have attended a couple of 3-day REI Seminars (I understand the meat and potatoes). I say all that to say, my goals here on BP are very simple.

Learn Contracts relevant to the State of CA, Tax Liens, House Hacking, Wholesaling, the best way to find a mentor local to Sacramento, CA (I hear REI Meet Ups are good places? not asking for one on this site), how to put together an LLC (already have an EIN), best marketing practices used, buyers and sellers list.. etc

Find Title companies that work with wholesalers in Sacramento

REI Groups in the Sacramento Area

B.A.I.L. Teams?

Hey @Ryan Blake and welcome! I'm out in Rocklin but I cover all of the Sacramento area as an agent. I work with a few investors from this site and elsewhere. 

Well, I'd say you have a very big list there! LOL If I can offer any advice to you I'd say listen to the podcasts on those topics that interest you... but once you find yourself leaning towards one strategy really hone in on that one in particular.

If you try to learn anything and everything it may get overwhelming. There are so many things to learn about each specific strategy so I would definitely narrow your interest level - at least in the beginning stages. 

Are you leaning towards anything specific yet - like buy and hold, flip, or wholesale?
