Newbie from L.A.

[John Bentley]

Hello,

I'm a newbie from Los Angeles. I'm so happy I found this site. Only recently I began reading up on real estate investing. I'm here to learn and hopefully form partnerships. My main problem is getting started. I've read eBooks on wholesaling and rent-to-own method. Not sure which method would be suitable for a newbie. Ideally I would want to focus my efforts here in the Los Angeles and surrounding areas. But I am open to going national if I have to. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.
