Countless times.

Welcome @Eldar ManetshSouthern Ca is a super tough market, but the great things is its huge...LA County, RIverside County, San Bernardino County, Ventura County, Orange Count...etc....My mistake in the beginning was taking in too much, listening to tons and tons of different podcast from learning how to invest in tax sales, to REO investing, buy and hold strategies, rehabbing etc....it became overwhelming, first i wanted to wholesale, then i wanted to flip, then i wanted to buy and hold, ALL as a beginner...And the end result was me roaming the internet day in and day out for countless hours, trying to find anything i coulld get my hands on...But for me personally, i chose wholesaling, because in Ca "CASH IS KING"....so i focused on nothing but wholesaling, because it less risk, less money and i knew my strength was talking to people.
