Cristian Rivera It's honestly many ways to go. Learn and find what works for yourself.

Cristian Rivera Maybe look into wholesaling, it's a good way to enter the REI ring with little money(not as much needed to start flipping). Also you'll learn in the process and maybe even find an active flipper willing to teach you. Go out and network at the different REI events in your area. I must admit wholesaling is harder than it seems to be. It requires a lot of hands on work and consistency. Best of luck to you.

David Eiges That situation can be a little touchy, especially if you guys are friends of some sort. In my experience friends and family tend to get comfortable and want a discount or assume that the same rules that apply to someone else doesn't apply to them. You have to put your foot down in the beginning and let them know that they must abide by the lease. Good luck

Alex Friesen Some things you can compare: -The property condition -square footage -number of bedrooms -what does the more expensive one have to offer(is it better condition, pool, more updated, etc.) -what have the houses in the area sold for in the last 6 months These are just to name a few

Justin Evola Like Bob Okenwa said work on your credit. Download credit karma's app and see where you stand and that can be a starting point for you. Just laying off debt and collections if you have any will benefit you. Also go to your bank and inquiry about a secured credit line that'll help also. Talk to a REA and find out what are the requirement for different programs so that you can have a goal in mind. Best of luck

I see it being an up and coming area. It's surrounded by other nice neighborhoods with great property value like Torrance, beach cities, and a couple of others. I think Gardena as well as lawndale will see rates rise within the next 12-24 months. It's a great area to buy and hold also.
