New investor questions

Hi everyone,

I am a recent graduate and working as a Mechanical Engineer in San Jose. I am looking to start my real estate investment journey but it is difficult starting out in the bay area. I have many questions and hope to understand the bright minds in here. I would like to network and learn about the possibilities. Please let me know if you are open for some discussions and I hope to prove myself to be of great help in your journey as well.

Welcome to the community! I'm originally from San Francisco and ran into the same issue when I started investing in 2021. I ultimately decided to invest out of state where the numbers made sense for me. 

Happy to connect and answer any questions you might have.
