Looking to Connect with Experienced Rental Property Investors

I’m new to real estate investing and eager to learn more about getting started with rental properties — both here in California and out of state.
I’m hoping to connect with experienced investors who might be willing to share insights or even mentor me on navigating the process — from market research and financing to property management and scaling.
If you’ve been through this journey and wouldn’t mind sharing some guidance, I’d love to chat! Whether it’s a quick call, a Zoom meeting, or even ongoing mentorship, I’m open to whatever works.
Looking forward to connecting and learning from you all!

hello. if you're serious about investing out of state i recommend picking a market and spending time there in person building a network, visiting properties in person, meeting people, and getting to know it. (if there's a market you're already familiar with because you have family there, or like to visit, or it's close by, so much the better.)
and if you can't do that... then i wouldn't invest OOS. there are too many forum threads from investors - especially CA investors - who picked a market solely because it was "cheap", bought a random property, and immediately got crushed and lost money. this will set you back.
