Getting started in LA market....or not

[Jelson Yalung]

Hello all,

I am looking to get started in investing in real estate and currently live in Los Angeles.  I'm really interested in rehabbing and flipping but am limited with time due to my job. I also feel like I am priced out of the tough LA market with not a ton of cash saved yet. I've heard the rental market in Los Angeles is tough with rents not justifying the high prices. Any advice for a new guy getting started in a tough and competitive market. Is it wise to start out investing in other markets?
