Hello, my name is Kale Johnson and I'm a young aspiring real estate investor out of California looking to start my journey of obtaining cash-flowing LTRs. I talked just recently with a trusted broker I know out of the Sacramento area to ask him his advice about finding investment properties in California and he said "the ship has sailed for that" and that's not hard to see especially in today's market. I understand there's an aspect of appreciation-based investing for homes in California along coastal areas however that seems like a luxury considering the capital that would need to be involved in order to hold a property with no income-producing aspect; most definitely not a beginning approach at the very least.

So with the case of low supply and high operating expenses and by the advice of the trusted broker I just mentioned previously, I have decided to shift my focus to out-of-state investing. What are some cash flowable markets outside of California relatively entry-level for a young investor looking to get into multi-family properties? Preferably closer to the West Coast. Thanks!

Good morning! My name is Kale Johnson. I'm a young inspiring real estate investor who's looking for opportunities to get involved in the business through internships, getting involved in owner-financed deals or helping out already established investors with current properties. I'm in my last 2 semesters of college (7 classes left) and I'm on my way to earn a degree in Applied Management. If interested in networking or working on a project; please feel free to message me directly on this platform and we can talk further! Thank you!

Hello all! My name is Kale Johnson, I'm new here to Biggerpockets. I'm a 23-year-old college student based here in the northern California area. I want to get into real estate; specifically, cashflow real estate such as residential rental properties and I've been reading books and studying concepts in my free time and I've learned about different avenues to get into the business such as FHA loans, USDA Rural Development loans, and others. It seems, however, almost all of the time, enough for a down payment and a rainy day fund is needed. For a young person without much money in their bank account but with plenty of time, how can I get into real estate investing? I already know about wholesaling, however, I heard it can be potentially illegal in California. So would it be better for me to reach out to investors to shadow them to learn the business or would it be better to get into wholesaling or creative financing? Thank you!
