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.

I have about $20,000 liquid that I can tap into from savings, which I would use a portion for the down payment, and my credit score is 710-714 so I'm not opposed to obtaining financing through a local bank or credit union for financing.Also, what additional books, materials, or resources would you recommend that I could read to get myself more familiarized with this form of real estate investing?

There seems to be only one side of the real story that's being told.I think people would love to buy assets in hot markets, but I think it comes down to the initial cost of investment and people's goals.
