New Member: Southern California girl!

[N/A N/A]

Hey Everyone!

Just surf'n the web and found this place. I am here to read up and see what's it all about.

I'm a Consultant who was born and raised here in Southern California.
I am very new to real estate. I'm in my late 20s and I feel that I have saved quite a lot for my age and I am ready to invest. I have been saving my whole life to buy my dream home! But for now, I'm looking to invest. =)

I'm not sure if I should find a foreclosure, flip, purchase and rent out, or even buy out of state. California is just crazy with prices and I honestly don't know what to do. I don't know where to start. I've been reading tons of books like Rich Dad Poor Dad, Foreclosure for Dummies, etc. And I'm still clueless on what I should do. I need helpful advice from those with Southern California investment experience!

So I'm welcome to any advice you all may have. =) :D
