@Marc Anthony MacielIf you're diving into house hacking and multifamily investing in Southern California, you’ll want to focus on markets like Riverside, San Bernardino, Ontario, and Long Beach—areas with strong rental demand and solid appreciation potential.

Utilities included.Fully rented.For sale off market.

I hear there's a recent case in Federal Court where an investor was found NOT GUILTY of violating anti spam laws because his text was asking to BUY a property, which isn't sales (which is what marketing is). 

Quote from @Lee Banks: Hi my name is Lee I'm looking too buy my first rental property and but I feel as if I need a mentor to watch, I still need to learn the basics of real-estate does anyone in New York do programs or mentorships and where would you start if you first started real-estate today  Hello Lee,I'd recommend looking up local meetups here on BP, meetup.com and, eventbrite.You can also call around to speak with RE investors and professionals in your target market to begin making connections.With so much available information online, I'd recommend speaking to a few people and doing independent research before committing to mentorships.

Todays market vs a different market will also impact your buy box. 

@Ella Marie, I can't speak on behalf of your market, but in my respective market, competition is tough, and the successful fix-and-flip vendors are often full-time operating businesses.

The high appreciation market will be the higher cash flow market over the hold.  

Most brokerages will pay around 25% of their commission when you refer a buyer/seller.

I furnish about 80% of my properties off of facebook market place and places like that. 

What's your criteria for the market you're interested in?
