Then a wise man who was already successful doing what I wanted to be doing shared some common sense that I took to heart: settle on ONE strategy to get started and block out all the other noise, the BS, and the well intentioned but misinformed friends and relatives telling you that you can’t do this.

@Kala SamuelTo start investing in real estate, define your goals and strategy, choose a market with job growth, population growth, and rental demand, finance your first deal with FHA Loan, conventional Loan, or Hard Money Loans, find the right property, build a support team, make offers, inspect the property thoroughly, and manage wisely.

Like anywhere, in any state, but particularly in Cali, you need to find the right deal money-wise.

Quote from @Gavin Gainey: Wise investors are slow and methodical.

If you are going to lock in that debt and let it sit, it's not wise.
