Newbie saying hello!

[Kwon Do Lee]

Hello BP!

My name is Kwon Do and I am a healthcare professional in Los Angeles, California. I have been lurking in the forums, reading blogs/books, and listening to podcasts in the LA traffic. I have been reading up on out of state investing and am eager to get my first property. Like many others on BP, my goal is to achieve early FI through real estate and other modes investments. My real estate goals for this year is to get my first property, read more, and be more active on BP.

Currently I am aggressively saving so that when I do buy my first rental unit, I have enough reserve cash cushion for potentially unseen pitfalls. Hopefully I do my due diligence well enough to prevent them but as a newbie with zero experience, I want to be on the safer side! 

Would you recommend Memphis and/or Indianapolis for a newbie to invest out of state?

I would love to learn and gain some experience by helping any of you guys in any way that I can! 

Thank you for reading.
