New members in LA and my first question

[Steven Zhou]

Hello everyone in BP. Our names are Steven and Ashley. We just joined the BP and started learning the basic knowledge about RE. We live in Sherman Oaks in SoCal. Everything  about RE seems very complicated and detailed so far but we are doing our best. And the info of this forum is so huge.

So my first question is very simple. Is SoCal a good place to start for new beginner? I know it's attracting a lot of population and the price is really high.  Is that good or bad for beginners like us? If not, what kind of market is the best for someone who want to look for his/her first deal?

Thank you. :)
