Hello BP,
My name is Jacob, I live in the Los Angeles county area. I work full-time as a data specialist and I am currently in school to finish a real estate course to receive a real estate sales license and even a broker's license further on down the line. I am a first-time investor and have plans to invest outside of the state; preferably with owner financing to start.
Thanks!

Hello! @Jacob Rascon
Welcome to BP, and congratulations on making the decision to invest in your future via real estate.
I have written a few blog posts that may help you get started here on BP, and with your investing. Please click on the links, give them a read, and share your thoughts in the comments.
First is a post that I feel will help not get overwhelmed with the amount of info that is here on BP:

The second is a post that will help get you focused with your real estate investing goals:

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.
I love answering questions if you have any! Good Luck :)
