Hi there,
Very new to real estate, even newer to BP. I am interested in rental properties for the purpose of passive income. My current goal is to get one positive cash-flow property. I have no idea where to start, but I feel like my first one should be local for me to learn the business. I hope to learn enough here to get started.
Thanks,
Jerry

Hey @Jerry Poon
Welcome to BP! Local in SoCal is tough as property values are high and cap rates are low. If you have a large chunk of money for a down payment then it may be feasible to go local. I would stress to build your team first!
good luck!
