Help with a few questions please

[Derek Lenz]

I didn’t really know where to ask this so hopefully this works.

I have 2 questions that could use a few answers.

One I am at the beginning stages of becoming real estate investor. I live in So Cal and I’m in the research stages. Looking to book, class, podcast, and seminar recommendations. Also if someone is close that likes coffee would like to sit down, have a cup of mud and potentially be a mentor/ advisor. Also referrals for a good tax person involved in real estate, investors, and anything else you think I should know.

Secondly I own a HVAC and Refrigeration business. Technically I own a job but am looking to invest into the business for gains to grow the business and using this to support my real estate investments eventually. I need good marketing advisement and some guidance on growing. If any one needs HVAC or refrigeration help at your business or home in the inland empire I can help as well, but mostly want to knowledge.
