Beginning real estate investor from Los Angeles / San Francisco

Hello everyone!
I'm fairly new in my real estate investing path (read a few books) and looking to learn how to do it the right way. Happy to help out wherever I can and to learn. I currently reside in Los Angeles but have strong ties to San Francisco. I used to work in hotels but now work for a real estate services firm in their hotel division. I got into real estate in the hopes of building a portfolio of properties to generate passive income. I learned about Bigger Pockets from their podcast.

Thanks!

    Welcome to BP. There is so much information here and knowledgeable people here.  I'm also in the SF Bay area with family ties in S. California, investing out of state. You can do it. 

    Good Luck

    @Mark Huang Hey Mark, welcome. Which real estate services firm are you working for? I'm working for CBRE, I specialize in buy side services for offshore investors.

    Btw a lot of activity in the Hotel market with the institutionals. Would be a few opportunities for some consulting work with developers looking to break into the market.

    Mark welcome all the way from Charlotte.

    A lot of information here  just have a plan , or goals on paper. So much easier when we have a road map of what we want to accomplish.
