As we grew, we started working virtually in Washington and northern California.

I live in Los Angeles, so if there is anybody out here, let's grab a bite to eat or we can meet virtually as well.

I am a 15-year-old with virtually no experience trying to get started on my real estate journey and would appreciate any recommendations on what I should begin with. 

We also have a monthly virtual meetup of investors in Europe mostly investing in the U.S., but a few invest in their local market.

@Jaclyn Spinelli - Rates are up a ton in COVID due to raw materials prices and the cost to rebuild a home at virtually all time highs.

Evictions for nonpayment were virtually halted at this time anyway, so a partial was better than nothing it seemed in most cases. 

I have virtually no overhead besides skiptracing and my mojo dialer.

Looking for a market to tackle at the moment, as California, Los Angeles to be exact, is a very competitive market. currently I have been looking into virtual wholesale out of state.. 

However, in historically zero appreciation markets (markets that historically appreciate slower than inflation such as much of the midwest), you suggestion would lead to virtually certain failure.You want the rents to be greater than the PITI and all other projected expenses otherwise there is negative cash flow. 

@Evan Polaski has good advice on investing as an active investor starting out with smaller multifamily properties.There are tons of good books, podcasts, and both virtual and in person (again) conferences to learn more, ask questions, and meet potential advisors, contractors and other team members.
