How to start to invest

[Francis Dinh]

Hello everyone,

I am a new guy, I just graduated from college and have a full-time job with $55,000/year. I want to start invest in real estate. I have around $20k cash. I live in Southern California, therefore I could not do anything with this amount in this area. I just bought a house in Dallas, Texas and rent it out with cash flow $100, mortgage $1700/month. Please advise me what I need to educate myself, what I should do now in other to start investing and succeed in real estate. I focus on Calidornia and Texas because I have relatives here, so I feel comfortable with it. I am new therefore I need all advise from experienced investors. How did you start and got to this point where you are financial free. 

Thank you for your time.

Francis.
