Bought my first condo, what do I do next???

[Harry Campbell]

I am a young aspiring REI, bought my first condo 6 months ago. A HAP property, got a pretty good deal on it, thanks to the government!

I have money saved up, and am currently saving about 1,000/month and looking to get into REI. I have been following the forum for a while, reading many different topics. I am located in San Diego, and I was thinking about going to a couple REI club meetings and networking, trying to find someone who might take me under their wing, or show me the ropes. Is this a good idea?

I have a full time job, but I am very good with numbers(including personal investments), very organized and willing to learn/ do a ton of research. What type of recommendations do people have for me? I want to know how to break into real estate, whether I should try and network for now, and save money. Or should I read investment books, follow this forum??? Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
