My main interest is real-estate investing.

My main question with them would be, as a KW agent is it easy to find a mentor to latch on to ?

My main question is if it would be smarter to use the money I have saved up to purchase a primary residence here in Los Angeles so I am no longer throwing money away on rent, or if I should use that money to invest in a rental property some place like Atlanta, where I'm familiar with the market and is definitely more affordable.

@Raden Mantuano  One of the main purposes of probate is to make sure that the creditors get paid.

Right now, I am looking mainly in Houston area.

I mainly want to help investors find property, whether it's buy and hold or potential flips. 

Is this strategy mainly for a down market?

Mainly because you could, in theory, save a lot of money by getting a DIY property if you are local.

My main question that I'm hoping to get some advice on is if it would be smarter to use the money we've saved up to purchase a primary residence here in Los Angeles so we're no longer throwing money away on rent, or if we should use that money to invest in a rental property, either locally or some place like Atlanta, where I'm familiar with the market and is definitely more affordable.We're trying to educated ourselves and gain as much advice as possible before making any serious decisions.Thanks in advance for any advice!

Mainly acquaintances.
