Advice for a newbie!

[Ignacio Linares]

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is having a good start to a new year! As an aspiring real estate investor, I have soo many questions and soo much I feel I need to learn that it can get overwhelming at times. To start off, I listen to BP podcasts everyday(their info is GOLD), I have read and am reading some real estate books, I have been budgeting and saving my money, and practicing to get the right mindset and habits in place. I live in Southern California and have determined that my dollars wont get very far here, and so have made up my mind to look out of state. My goal is to buy and hold cash-flowing rental properties, starting out with SF homes and down the line MF homes. What are some tips/advice I can get to make sure I stay on  the right path and help me get better prepared for my real estate journey? I would greatly appreciate any input, thanks!
