@Ran L. I was actually referring to LA, but thanks for the heads up!

@Adriel Liwag that totally makes sense. Thank you! I look forward to meeting you in the near future!

Hi @Tony Robinson!

I landed on 100 miles because it’s not too far too drive lol. I actually haven’t read that book yet! I was originally thinking about investing in Las Vegas since the prices are more affordable, but I figured it would be easier to invest in LA!

Definitely don’t plan on doing the rehab by myself! I want to learn how to do some of it but definitely not everything!

Nice! Keep me updated on how that goes! I’d love to learn more.

@Nabil Suleiman thank you!

@Nabil Suleiman there’s most definitely an information overload. It’s almost like analysis paralysis with all the information! However, I definitely want to get involved in meet ups and meet different people! I want to hear different people’s stories and learn about various paths. I will check out the FIBI & LAREI! Also, please let me know when you have the meet up in Eagle Rock.

I would love to hear more about what you do! I've decided I want to start with SFH just to get my foot in the door. Then expand my portfolio to duplexes & 4-plexes and so on!

@Aaron K. Thanks!

@Cristine M. Thank you!

@Aaron K. Makes sense! I was thinking about the outskirts such as Palmdale, Norwalk, Pomona etc since LA itself is very expensive. I see you’re located in Riverside. Have you done any investing out there?

Hello BiggerPockets Family!

I’m super new to the real estate world! I’ve begun to read real estate investing books and listen to real estate podcasts. I currently live in Los Angeles and would love to invest somewhere in Southern California. I’m wondering if anyone has any advice on investing in Southern California or any areas they would recommend for a new investor who doesn’t have a ton of money for a down payment. I’ve considered investing out of state, but I would prefer to be within a 50-100 miles of my investments in case anything goes wrong.

Thank you!
