Taking action now, Thanks in advance!

I have posted before, but after reading I'd like to change my introduction.

Hello, everyone, my name is Brandon Vannier, you can call me blondy (I love cowboy movies) I am 19 years old and currently live in sunny San Diego, California. I have joined BP a little over a week ago and spend about 5-6 hours daily on here reading and learning about all different type of investing. I have no prior experience to REI but have gained interest from previous experiences from my grandfather making money buying a house and renting it out. He is no longer able to live in SD, so in some sense, I want to do this to show him that I can do something with my life. I am currently in community college and ending the semester in about a month, and taking on a job where I will anywhere from 2K-4K. I plan to save as much as I can so I will be able to invest when I come across that killer deal.

I understand many people will post that they are new and ask for help (I was one of those guys). After reading forums and listing to the podcast I understand that you need to bring value. I am looking to investing out of state due to the high cost in CA. I have read up on many different investment strategies but would like to focus on the BRRRR method along with Buy & Holds.

My short term goals: 

* locate a mentor/business partner to learn with.

* Locate & analyze opportunities to invest in

* Bring value to partnership or company 

* Help other investors get started in REI

* Reach  $1000+/mo cashflow

* Take action

* make mistake (hopefully small ones) learn from them and take that knowledge to the next deal

I am looking to partner up and bring value to anyone willing to accept my help. I can do any grunt work needed, I am eager to get into the process and learn more about how REI really works. Thanks for reading, and sorry for the format and ordering of this post... so many things to say and so much more to learn.

If I were in your situation, at your age, I would be making a concerted effort to find the best investing area in the US that I could find employment in my field. That is not CA. You are at the perfect spot in life to make a big picture decision as opposed to simply making do where you are simply because that is where you are.

The sky is the limit. learn and go where it works the best.
