Newbie in a tough market.

Hey guys. My name is Marc, this is actually my 2nd account as my original ones got problem with the email. I am from Orange County in California. Looking to network and provide value to most, although I am also a beginner and learning everyday. I have consumed tons of knowledge with regards to RE investing in the past couple of months. I am also working on getting my RE license as I feel like it will help me a lot. My goal is to acquire property, either I hold or I wholesale it, but the end goal is to acquire passive cash flow. Anyone would like to connect, chat or even maybe JV in the future? Since I am in a tough market in California, I am also looking into acquiring out of state.

Yea Cali is tough. Bu i've heard of numerous success stories in Cali markets. I would start networking with others in your market to figure out how to make numbers work(meetups). What sub-markets can you focus on? Or like you said, look at investing OOS.

License is great, but make sure it will add value to your business time wise. If it is just for MLS access, remember you can build relationships with other brokers/realtors for that. Positive's is you may be able to create another source of income as a realtor if you hustle. But you need to hustle.

Good luck man and welcome to the forums. Jealous of you guys out west as we just clocked in our first 30 degree day of the winter.
