SAN JOSE, CA--Young Inexperienced Want-to-be-Real Estate Investor

[Mike Lam]

Hi, I'm Mike Lam. Completely new to Real Estate. I live and reside in the San Jose area. Recently not working and had a sudden intense interest in Real Estate Investing.

The book that got my up fired up was Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad Poor Dad." I also read his other book "Financial IQ". I just downloaded "The Ultimate Beginner's Guide" on this forum and is in the process of reading it.

I am soooo lucky and thankful to have found this forum when I googled "Books to read for real estate", and I can not show enough of my appreciation on here. I am super stoked and excited to soak in what there is to learn to create my first deal.

So far, I am interested in creating wealth through Apartments (multi-family) Investing because Kiyosaki made it seem like it's the best choice when it comes to cashflow and a protection from the market's ups and downs.

As I am writing this, it is October 23, 2013. My goal is to get my first deal out 3 months from now. I'm talking about knowing nothing about real estate to getting a first deal by January 2014 or even on December 2013 (but I know doing deals at the end of the year can be a pain). How can I make this possible?

I would be extremely appreciative to find a highly successful and effective mentor, preferably in the Bay Area/San Jose/San Francisco (but it doesn't have to be from that area), who is willing to show me the ropes in finding a good deal and going through the deal with me.

I will do whatever it takes to succeed, and when I find this mentor, I will return back some of the favor by offering to do some advertising and business marketing for him/her and/or do anything that will show my appreciation.
