Once you close your first deal (investment, not personal residence), keep an open dialogue with them about your experience and keep asking for advice.

It would be great to meet local investors face-to-face and dialogue about the particular challenges living in Los Angeles creates.

I think you will be able to track your results better if you just concentrate on 1 area that you know what the traffic flow is like.If you need a visual tool Traffic.com can help with your planning.Assuming you are wholesaling (I hate to assume), do you have a dialogue to say to sellers if and when you get a phone call from one of your signs?

PM me and we can start a dialogue. 

Great dialogue from all. 

I'm happy to continue the dialogue hereJake 

My significant other and I are excited to learn more about real estate investing and wanted to start here to get a dialogue going. 

Just joining this thread, @Don Konipol, and enjoying the dialogue.  

Most people get mad for my postings but I’m apart of a DMV investing group now, any question that comes up in our weekly hour meeting, I just post here to see what OTHER people around the world have to say Perhaps they should post their own questions here and be directly involved in the dialogue? 

@Vijaianand Thirunageswaram Thanks for starting this dialogue!
