Hello! New realtor/aspiring investor from Orange County, CA

[Ricky Quach]

Hi BP - just wanted to take a second to introduce myself. I'm a real estate agent based in Irvine, CA and an aspiring real estate investor! I've started studying up on real estate investing and am getting inspired by all the other members out there purchasing their first rental properties. Looking to buy my first property in AZ, TX, or OK by the end of this year. Look forward to chatting and learning from everyone.

@Ricky Quach Welcome on in, I have been studying and looking in California for a while and no real cash on cash returns here that I am seeing, as I am learning. Although I have looking at Texas myself , Dan Antonio specifically as it is a growing city for sure. California has lots of renter friendly laws vs landlord friendly if it is rentals you are looking to do like myself. Good luck in your pursuits. I have learned so much on Bigger Pockets calculators that it has stopped me several times from jumping in deals that I was told was a cash flowing deal but in essence was not. Analyze a few properties a week Or a day to jut get used to the information you need to put in. It helps so much. Best of luck and welcome in.
