New Guy From California

[N/A N/A]

Hi, Timo here, I'm new to this investing thing although I've been researching it buying everyone's "how to" courses the past 5 to 10 years. California is an intimidating market for newbies like myself, everyone you know in Real Estate buys into the urban legends of "you can't make money in this market" hype going around unless you have lot's of CASH or A-perfect CREDIT and sometimes, the testimonials you read about contribute as well because they are short on them from this State for some reason. I've been pleasantly surprised to find many who say you can invest anywhere if you have the determination and motivation and someone to teach you the ropes. I have no cash, lousy credit, a low paying JOB, filed BK last year and got evicted as a renter and sued so I'm still in financial hades but I know I can climb out of it with wholesaling and get ahead and hopefully further this coming year. I Joined a local REI club here in Modesto but I'm originally from the Bay Area and would like to get back when I can afford it. I'm hoping to wholesale my way into this and retire when I have the holdings to do so in a few years. I haven't found alot of info on wholesaling details, just the usual stories of how someone else did it, leaving out the juicy stuff a newbie needs to know. But, I'll keep reading here and at another forum I joined recently and learn what I can so thanks ahead of time to all you contributors, I've read alot of the starter articles now and am pumped to go further. I'm looking forward to a long, successful career in Real Estate and to learning form some of you who are doing it successfully! Thanks! :violin:
