Looking to Buy First Deal

[Nick McCandless]

Hello BiggerPockets Community,

I am looking to purchase my first real estate deal and have saved up about $150k in cash to purchase my first deal. I have been learning a lot about multifamily apartments and storage units and am interested in purchasing my first deal and officially getting into real estate. Obviously here in Orange County, $150k doesn't get you anything even with the leverage as its limited to a deal of $600k. Is anyone here that is successful in real estate with a strong track record doing partnerships and buying deals with other members?
