Hi all, 

I just wanted to get some insight on your experiences with mentor(s)? The reason I ask, is because I'm currently looking for one. Perhaps you know of someone looking for some extra help in return of providing guidance? I'm currently in Anaheim, CA. Any help would most definitely be appreciated!

Happy investing, 

Robert

@Brandon V.

I'm still looking into sub markets and though I'd like to invest within Orange County, I am aware that it is a tough market to get into. I'm looking into SFRs, condos, and multi-family.

Hey @Brandon V.

Welcome to the site man! I also reside in Anaheim and, like you, looking to get my first deal done this year. I have always had great interest in it just never the guts and I've made it my goal to change it. I wish you the best of luck and use all the resources provided on this site. I have learned a ton by browsing and interacting. Hope you do too.

Best,

Robert

Hi everyone!

So here is my dilemma. I graduated back in 2012 and been working ever since. I have a full time job which allows me to pay for my expenses and have a bit of cash for myself which I tend to save. Currently, however, I am about 30K in debt; primarily school loans, car, CC (but I also live at home so no rent, phew!). Doing the math, it would take me a few years to erase all of it if I truly propose myself to (I am a saver after all) but I really want to get my real estate career started. My niche is to build a foundation between condos, SFRs, and 2-4 plex for now before moving on to bigger goals.

Some people advice getting rid of all debts first before tackling into investing and others say just go for it as long as you have a solid plan. What's your take on this? I am new to the field but with great ambitions to learn and take action. All advice is appreciated and thank you for taking the time to respond.

Take care,

Robert

@Brandon Turner

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post. Ever since I joined the site, I have not only been exposed to articles, guides and posts, but incredibly helpful advice from like minded individuals. I just finished listening to the latest podcast with Justin and found it truly inspiring as I also have a full time job. It is time to take action and start being proactive. I wish you the very best and please keep doing what you're doing as it provides us beginners a chance to make it out there.

Take care,
