Highly interested and driven, new investor

[Islam Hassan]

My name is Islam Hassan. I am hoping to get into real estate investing very soon. as a family we have some cash saved that we have watched do absolutely nothing in the banks for sometime now. I am studying to become an agent as we speak but would like to ask for some direction in getting started on the investing side while I'm in the process of getting my license. I am in the Los Angeles area, Santa Clarita and Antelope Valley to be a little more exact. I have searched the market and I have an idea of what is out there and what prices look like. 

Any help, direction or feedback is more than welcome and highly appreciated.

Thank you
