Just starting out in real estate

[Sean Kim]

Hello everyone,

I'm just beginning to save some extra cash and looking to invest it in real estate. I live in Los Angeles CA, and I've never even picked up a book on real estate investing. I do stocks and index funds, but I have no idea where to start for real estate.

My question is what is the best way I can teach myself about rental property investing? Recommendations on books, podcasts, etc. Would be deeply appreciated.

Also, how realistic is it to do this in LA?

Thank you.
