Newbie wants to invest in Real Estate

[Yvonne Lee]

Hello, my name is Yvonne Lee. I live in Los Angeles area. My husband and I own a house, but still have monthly mortgage. In the meantime, I am looking for a investment property, single home or condo with less HOA in L.A area. Should I pay off my house first before investing in rental property or pay for down payment for the investment property? I am very excited to join this group. If you are here, please drop me a line for any advise regarding investing in rental property. Thank you very much for this wonderful site.
