New member. No real estate expierience.

[Sean Lynch]

Hello All,

My name is Sean and I am a new member with no real estate expierience.. I currently rent to own my dads house. I've been hearing that this is a great time to buy a house with the prices being low and low interest rates. I want to make my first home purchase in the same city that I live, Lakewood, CA and rent it out. Any suggestions on how I start to educate myself on this and get started in the real estate business? Books to read, contact a local realtor, etc?

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Sean
