I have been very intrigued with the idea of wholesaling and owning rentals and from what I can tell it seems these are two RE niches that many BP contributors suggest as good beginning outlets in the REI world for newcomers.  

(Well at least how the story went per mainstream media, anyways??)

Hey Everyone, We have been so bogged down that we haven't kept up with our social media etc etc, looking forward to reconnecting.

Another very important part of real estate investing is networking.You can meet like minded people at local real estate investing associations, through forums like bigger pockets and through other social media outlets.  

Social Media- Search on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc for cash buyers in your city.

At my age, all of my peers are spending large amounts of time on social media weather it be Facebook, instagram etc.

Jaden, some areas of Inglewood appreciated 15-20% last year; the media attributes the price jump to the Rams moving, but the development surrounding the stadium, the metro project, and the Forum redevelopment have all contributed to record growth before the team inked in the deal.  

They added a sink, gas stove, electrical outlets, and a bedroom. 

I am on this site reading more then and other social media.

Dollars to doughnuts, the ones "getting started" who ask the basic questions (like "what contract do I use") here in the Forum have contacted those authors, been told they had to buy something, and decide to get free consulting here on the Forum instead.This is not a rail against the authors of those media materials.
