Real Estate in SoCal/West LA

[Jonathan Xu]

Hello all,

I am a new investor who goes to school at UCLA and I wanted to start investing while in school. Of course, I've heard so many people say that "properties are too expensive in SoCal" but I know that you need to know where to look. 
Unfortuanately I don't have a car while at school so transportation is kind of hard.

Does anyone have advice as how to be able to still do deals with minimal transportation? I've been told that it's possible to buy properties sight unseen as long as you have someone with "vested" interest on the ground. 

Any help would be appreciated and if this is in the wrong section I'm sorry mods!
