New Investor from Downey, CA (South Los Angeles)

[Roy Lin]

Hi everyone!

I'm 25-years old and live in Downey, CA while working in Downtown LA in the financial district. I've recently been very interested in investing in real estate on the side with hopes of owning 10+ properties in the next 10-15 years and using the cashflow streams to retire early. The thought of working until 65 is not my idea of paradise. 

I've found BiggerPockets to be a great resource and I've spent countless nights past my bedtime reading through the forums. 

Thank you all for your insight and any recommendations/advice would be greatly appreciated!
