Looking for Investor in Antelope Valley California
Hello All,
I've been searching for REIA's in the AV and it appears none exist at the moment. I'm new to investing and have been looking to speak with local investors who may be able to answer a few questions about the current state of the market in the AV. I'm interested in 1) buy & hold and 2) flipping properties. However, from what research I've done, it appears the market is slowing down and now may not be the best time for a newbie such as myself to jump in. In an effort to better understand the market, I reached out to a local real estate agent and setup a meeting which took place this past Friday (9/25). She has a lot of experience with buying and selling "homes" however, I got the impression she didn't have much experience with buying and selling investment "properties". Or maybe my inexperience didn't allow me to ask the right questions(?)... Does anyone have any experience investing in the AV? If so, are there any useful tips, advice, resources you can help a new investor with? I would even be willing to work as an "intern" if anyone would be willing to mentor me and/or allow me to shadow them on a deal.
Any information would be GREATLY appreciated.
