Beginner in Los Angeles , Ca
My mind is finally set up on investing in real estate! But I just have no clue where to start? My credit score is pretty good and I have a little money saved? I really wanted to be a real estate agent but I have a pretty good job lined up when I graduate in June! I also have great experience in construction I was wondering if I should get my contracting license to cut costs? Any tips on where to start guys?

I have also found the BP blogs to be a huge source of helpful information. They are categorized into groups such as Starting Out, Landlording, Flipping, etc. I like to go to the page that has a dozen or so links and middle mouse each one (for a new tab each) - grab some coffee and start reading. MAKE SURE to take notes - open Word and log each nugget you come across. It's helped me build up quite a reference manual.
