Newbie Investor Alert!

[Alex Lee]

Hi everyone! I've been listening to the BP podcast for almost a year now, and I'm finally ready to take action and dive head-first into the RE game! My wife and I moved down to Marina Del Rey from San Francisco about a year ago, and we're currently renting. We're currently looking for a condo/SFH/multi-unit (which is extremely difficult to afford in LA) and really looking to ease ourselves into this world. Any words of encouragement are appreciated!

First is a post that I feel will help not get overwhelmed with the amount of info that is here on BP:

The last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent. There are many agents out there, but it’s important to choose the right one.
