New Member From Los Angeles

[Matt Friedman]

Hello BP forum! I have been learning a lot from this site in just the last few hours that I have joined. It is definitely overwhelming with the amount of information loaded on this site. I am eager to start REI, specifically Buy and Hold with a partner just to get my feet wet (most likely duplex, triplex, etc...). However, being in Los Angeles I have read numerous times that due to the RE climate here that it can be very difficult. I know that it's not impossible, but does it make more sense to invest out of state for a first timer?

I look forward to learning from all members who have posted in the past as well as everybody who post's in the future!
