Hello Bigger Pockets family!

I am a new investor looking to build long lasting wealth for my future! I graduated from California State University, Fullerton about a year and a half ago and am currently working as a Sales Analyst for a fashion e-commerce retailer. Although this is a great opportunity fresh out of college, I quickly learned that working for someone else does not allow my time to be truly mine. My goal is to take back my time, and I strongly feel real estate can help me get there.

I'm looking into multi-family (2-4 units) real estate where I can 'hack' for some time then hold and continue building my portfolio. I live in Southern California, which I know isn't the best market for investors, but I'm hoping to find some great deals. I would appreciate any tips or would love to meet up with any local investors to gain more insight and knowledge!
