Southern California Newbie Needing Advice

[Nicholas Matthew Coca]

Hi guys, brand new to the BP community and really RE as a whole. My brother suggested the BP podcast and for the last week it’s all I can listen to. I have a considerable savings account and have done a considerable amount of hands as work with 3 years in the commercial electrical field and now working as a project engineer/manager in training. Still young (22 next month) but I want to look to see how I can begin my path to financial freedom. I should be graduating with an Associates in Business Management this December, I’m a numbers kind of guy and like to think I’m ambitious. The Southern California market, Orange County in particular is where I’ve lived almost my entire life and investing in real estate seems almost impossible to start down here. Looking for general advice, tips, connections, really anything on what I should really look into in this high $ hot market. I appreciate all the responses in advance!
