It is a tough market and there's nothing wrong with taking a breather and waiting for things to stabilize while focusing on savings and education.

I know that I want to focus on LER with the brrr strategy. now my questions are:1. where to start?

I also have a list of all the other local meetups that I'd be happy to share...The super power I've found over the last 5 years or so investing is FOCUS!  

For over a decade, I’ve focused on multifamily acquisitions and asset management with firms ranging from small boutique offices to large syndicators.

Until now I've focused on distressed single-family and small multi-family properties for rehab into rentals (BRRRR).

I’ve come across some great eBooks that break down the process and provide step-by-step guidance.Some focus on automation, others on maximizing revenue, and a few on avoiding common pitfalls.

@Chanel Snerling not sure why you are so focused on building?

You'll learn a lot here.I recommend focusing on 1 strategy/business model and going all in on that one until you've mastered it and it's stable.

Are you focusing on local investments within LA County, or are you considering opportunities outside the area as well?

Try not to get overwhelmed as there’s a lot of information on BP and many avenues within real estate investing.When I was starting out, I was interested in so many strategies, but I discovered that I did my best when I focused on one or two and really built my knowledge around them.
