What did you think of LAREIC? Any others you recommend checking out? I'm also interested in a local real estate investors meet up in West LA area. 

Thank you all for your responses so far. It's good to get some insight from all your experiences. I am considering investing in the midwest but would be limited into how often I could get out there to oversee properties. I'm thinking 1-2x/year would be feasible. I'm thinking property management would take care of most issues considering I find a good one. I know its not as easy as finding a good property management company and deal but what are some other big issues I should consider before jumping into out of state investments?

Hello all,

I am looking to get started in investing in real estate and currently live in Los Angeles.  I'm really interested in rehabbing and flipping but am limited with time due to my job. I also feel like I am priced out of the tough LA market with not a ton of cash saved yet. I've heard the rental market in Los Angeles is tough with rents not justifying the high prices. Any advice for a new guy getting started in a tough and competitive market. Is it wise to start out investing in other markets?
