I have asked so many RE agents and they were all clueless.

Though I have no ties with real estate, I have been curious about real estate at various points in my life and the successful individuals in my life in one way or another seemed to be involved in RE. 

Hey BP,Just curious if there are any investors who could give some advice or share their personal stories about how they’ve invested successfully in California.Some quick info about me: I’m 24, college student, two part time jobs, and am studying real estate/RE finance so I️ can buy assets ASAP.I’m based in Torrance CA which is an expensive place to live.

@Arley ColladoWelcome to the world of RE investing!

The Book I recommend is What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash FlowFor Economics, I recommend reading things from the Economic Calendar from Bloomberg: Bloomber Economic CalendarEconomics is very difficult at first, but will take some time to absorb it.

As usual, I agree with @Dave Foster - I'd look into the 1031 exchange option if you want to stay invested in RE but think your money could be deployed into bigger and better elsewhere.

But once you have a solid QI on your team, a lot of the pressure will be off you - someone is there to tell you what each step is and make sure everything is documented appropriately, which is totally worth $750 to me, personally.If you're interested in staying invested in RE, a 1031 is a powerful tool to get accustomed to.

Another perk is they have access to credit tools like rapid re-scores or updates.

@Bob Malecki I’m new at Note Investing (I would have ended up here anyway as I don’t like any other aspects of RE and I do sub prime auto lending) but you’ve been doing this a long time, is this a natural business cycle we just have to wait out?
