How is the Los Angeles real estate market I'm from St. Louis...

[Myndi Spencer]

I'm a Realtor in St. Louis and I have been wholesaling mostly.  I have reasons to move to LA but have concerns about the market because it's SOOOO different, from what I can see.

Is it hard to get started? It seems that there would be a huge challenge in starting out because of it's competitiveness. 

Has anyone made a change from the Mid-West to the LA area? What is your feed back?
