Not so new but very green
Hey BiggerPockets world! I hope everyone is having a wonderful day and making strides for a better tomorrow. I joined in the beginning of the year but am finally ready to give it my all. In all honesty I have no idea where to start and what to do. I heard a million things about starting the wholesaling route, then to buying and flipping. Being a year out of college and crap credit doesn't exactly scream lend me money to fund a new venture. So any advice where to get started and anyone in the Los Angeles area want to grow together lets do it.

Hi Norman and welcome to BP. I would start listening to podcasts, reading, learning every day and going to your local REI meetings (Real Estate Investor) you can usually find these on meetup.com. Listen to the experts but also don't sign up for every person selling something. Do your research and learn which part of real estate tickles your fancy most. Im not "tenured," but I am going out each day looking for deals for others and for myself. Its difficult in So Cal but not impossible, and you don't need your own money to do it, just learn how to be creative and then hustle your heart out.
Good Luck
