Quote from @Samuel Barika:

Hey everyone, my name is Samuel. I'm a 22 year old aspiring real estate investor, ready to start my journey on here and soak up as much information as I can, so I can apply it, fail, learn and continue tweaking my strategy till I reach mastery. Can't wait to start interacting with people on here and sharing my journey!

Hey Samuel, wishing you all the best for your real estate investing journey! I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio. There's so many catalysts for population and job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide Hospital, etc). I can definitely tell you there's still a lot of positive cash flowing and 1% rule deals and you get amazing appreciation. As an investor and agent here in Columbus Ohio, if you have any questions or want to connect, definitely reach out!

Thank you Jimmy, I appreciate your response, I will definitely be reaching out!

Best of luck on your REI journey! If you haven't already, I would recommend attending the BiggerPockets webinars. I have found them to be very helpful as I am also earlier in my Real Estate journey.

Thank you and I will definitely be attending those.

Quote from @Robert Reynolds:

Samuel, welcome to the forums. I recommend attending meetups and focusing on building a solid financial foundation, so that you can invest in real estate and build generational wealth. It's awesome that you are so young, and time will be your best friend. I recommend the book Set for Life and David's new one Pillars. Hope to see you at upcoming meetups, and let me know if you need anything. Always here to help.

Thank you for taking your time to reply, I have more questions about meet ups because I don’t want to waste any time and would like to get started, how do I find some in Los Angeles?
