New Investor Here in California

[Andrew Pierce]

Hi my name is Andrew, I'm a 22 year old retail banker here in California. I am looking to start getting my first rental property, I've been wanting to get into real estate but i always felt that i couldn't afford it but i have decided that its time for me to get serious about it. I have had a hard time identifying an affordable market for me because California definitely isn't affordable for me. I have given myself 1 year to save for a down payment i can realistically have 30k saved by next summer. I have been hearing a lot about no money down deals but don't understand them or how to acquire one. I really would like some advice on how to get started. I have watched thousands of YouTube videos by Robert Kiyosaki and Grant Cardone and it feels like they talk a lot about finding deals and getting into real estate but they don't say how. I want to start building my portfolio as soon as i can but i know its good to be patient. I honestly feel like a headless chicken listening to thousands of different advisors or "Gurus". Any who, that's my spiel, i look forward to being part of the community, Today is the day when i finally ask for help in my wealth journey.
