Advice for first time investor and where to start

[Shaviv Delkhah]

Hi all,

Just graduated college and starting my full time job, I'm really looking forward to build my wealth through real estate investments and rental properties. I've been reading several books, strategies on house hacking, and getting started. I'm currently located in Los Angeles, CA which is an expensive market to get started in, so I was looking at either house hacking within the state or looking into the columbus or dallas area. Any insight for a first time investor would be extremely appreciated.

 That's great Shaviv. If you can house-hack locally, I would recommend doing that. If not, Columbus would be a great market to OOS invest in. Very landlord-friendly with economic growth.
