So in my situation, negative cash flow is completely fine if I'm paying less than I would renting, getting a real estate investing education by actually buying a deal, learning how to landlord, etc. 

My goal is to learn as much as I can from all the pros in the community and make my first deal within a year.

Calling all whoesalers, invesotrs and agents i'm looking to partner with you guys and learn along the way as well !

Sounds like a fun and cheaper alternative. ewe_sneeze is his IG handle for his renovations...He is a real nice guy if you want to message him, im sure he would let you know his process or at least direct you to the YouTube page he learned it from :)Good luck!

I highly recommend you to learn as much as you can via their recorded videos and/or live event. 

Welcome, Jihan; you're in the right place to learn!

You're in the right place to learn about real estate investing.

I am hoping to meet like minded individuals who can share their experience getting started, what their biggest hurdles were and how to over come them, and general advice/guidance.I am in the Los Angeles area but open to learning about other markets!

Being new, I'm sure there's much I could learn more to avoid unfavorable lending.

Greetings Fellow REIs,I took the plunge into REI approximately three months ago and have been immersing myself in learning ever since.
