Very few are successful buying real estate in C stagnant markets.

I want to learn how to do real estate.

My background is in architecture, based in Southern California, looking to get into real estate investing, both flips and long term rental properties both in California but most likely looking to start in other states.Happy to be here and look forward to learning from everyone!

The problems can manifest over time or can suddenly & disastrously make themselves known.You may be able to extend the life of the existing (repaired) roof with a service called Roof Maxx.

Owasso is another area to consider, though prices there may be on the upper end of your budget, but the rental demand is strong due to local amenities and a community-focused environment.For a buy-and-hold strategy, these areas tend to offer good rental demand, relatively low vacancy rates, and potential appreciation over time.

@Josh WellsRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I would love to grow my knowledge and experience within the real estate industry.
