Real Estate Investing

[Renee Coss]

I am a new member of this platform and a student of investing in real estate investing.  The only property I own is my home, and would like to take the next step and look at investment properties.  I am 59 years old and i am getting close to retiring, so i need some other forms income.  I paid off all debts with the exception of my home; and now i feel i am ready to start in real estate. I live in California and in doing my research, investment property in California is looking pretty grim!!  So maybe other states?  Not sure where to start, but i hoping this platform can give me some answers.
